A Marine in the Field

[SWJED]

Jedburgh brought this to our attention in reference to the original post - the M24 SWS is an Army sniper rifle, the Marine Corps uses the M40. It is doubtful that a Marine would be commenting on an Army rifle... Food for thought... Have Marines been issued M24's???

Here is the excerpt from the Washington Times Op-Ed piece:

The M24 sniper rifle: Thumbs up. Mostly in 308 but some in 300 win mag. Heavily modified Remington 700s. Great performance. Snipers have been using them heavily to great effect. Rumor has it that a Marine sniper on his third tour in Anbar province has actually exceeded Carlos Hathcock's record for confirmed kills with over 100
