Has anyone comes across a GI Joe scaled PSG-1 sniper rifle?

Medicom did one in their Kubrick (LEGO-ish block figures) Special Forces line. It was kind of stubby though with a very short barrel.

That's the only one I can think of.

Yep. I'm not sure if they are too large though.

The new style CORPS! figures have one, and I think that the Rock Viper rifle was intended to be one. Here is the CORPS! one (modified with a grappling hook launcher)

The original Rock Viper's could pass if you changed out the clip. The barrel looks to have a folded up bipod molded onto it.

Matthew's got it. If it doesn't have to be visually specific, 92 Firefly's rifle (MSG-90) is essentially the same rifle built to military specs. http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn27-e.htm

Some old generic Chinese army toyline named Elite Forces used to have an MSG90 as well:

I replaced the Rock Viper rifles that came with the 2004 Cobra Troopers.

As mentioned, there's also a Corps! one but it's a little too large, especially for classic sculpts.

I never knew about the Kubrick one. I may have to hunt for those.

The one that comes with RoC Pit Hawk (has the wings) has a PSG1 type weapon

Hawk's gun looks like an HK SL8-1. A civie version of the G36.

Out of curiosity, what are you wanting to do with it? The reason I ask is the PSG-1 is too expensive for most LE agencies and doesn't have enough range for the military, so it's more of a niche rifle than anything.

I will bet its a Solid Snake custom.

I am one board with the Rock Viper rifle. It's pretty close.

Yeah, but disgustingly out of scale.
