Can you buy a sniper rifle legally?
Yes, most sniper rifles (or more properly, precision rifles) are available to civilians. They are semi-auto or bolt action rifles, and even in semi-auto guise often don't trigger various bans on such weapons.
No it is not illegal to buy a “sniper rifle”. In most places we simply call them by a different name: “hunting rifle”. Only difference between a sniper rifle and a hunting rifle is the intended target.
