Can anyone point me to a line which has figures suitable for use as sharpshooters? |

I also use a number of kneeling and prone miniatures from Dixon in light kit: PDF link There are two codes prone with scope fitted rifles:
ACW VG1 and ACW VG2 |

In reality, the Confederacy had what amounted to a handful of telescopic sights, and these were primarily used with a Whitworth rifle. Most "sharpshooters" were excellent marksmen who used a standard rifle-musket, so pretty much any mini in a firing position works. |

I gave the two 1st Corps boys and they certainly look the part ….as genuine snipers for want of a better word. Most Confederate 'Sharpshooters' were good shots, but armed with standard Rifled Muskets |
