If you want accuracy at distance, you want a good, heavy, bolt action

for its snipers?

That's true for blow-back autos but gas-operated semi/autos (M1/M14)
bolts lock untill the round is out of the barrel so they work well as
sniper weapons. The quality of the individual weapon is really the
determining factor as long as the bolt stays locked until the round is
gone.
