98. In that era, it might possibly have been old M-1's from WWII,
which were chambered for .30-06. More likely, they were M-14's, chambered for .308. The .308 is a more modern round that (at least in military loads) duplicates the ballistics of the .30-06. That is, it fires the same size bullet (.30 cal., 150 grain) at the same velocity (2700 fps muzzle velocity) as the .30-06. I think most Guard units had M-14's.
