Re: Navy SEAL super-rifle: $25K
IF I recall correctly, RAD was selling a civilian version of the SEAL rifleabout 10 years ago for around $6500.
Here is what Janes says about it:

Development
The RAD 7.62 mm M91 sniper rifle was developed by Redick Arms Development (RAD) in co-operation with the US Navy, to meet the requirements of US Naval Special-Warfare units. The US Navy has procured the M91 for Sea/Air/Land (SEAL) teams and for some other US special-operations units.
Description

The trigger is also a Remington 700 component, reconfigured to meet US Navy specifications with a 1.4 kg pull. The total ammunition capacity is five rounds: four in the box magazine and one in the chamber.The stock is formed from Kevlar and glass fibre and has a black finish. The finish overall is corrosion resistant and meets MIL-STD-171-1.The standard optical sight is manufactured by Bausch & Lomb and is mounted on the rifle using proprietary ring mounts manufactured by Redick. Options include a left-hand action, Leupold telescopic sights and McMillan A-2 stocks.The M91 is guaranteed by the manufacturer to shoot within 0.5 Minute Of Angle (MOA), approximately 12.7 mm at 100 m.
