Model 70 USMX Sniper rifles

In the books on Gunny Hathcock they talk about some Model 70's that the Marines used early in the Vietnam War. They were chambered for the 30-06 and i believe had Redfield scopes. Does anyone have a good picture of these rifles? What few pics i've seen have been fuzzy or taken at such an oblique angle you can't tell much.

Did they have bull barrels or a tapered heavy barrel?

Anyone know some books that might go more into their description?
