"Marine snipers have been carrying some version of the M40 rifle since the Vietnam War, but now the Corps is about to arm its snipers with a new weapon system.

Marine snipers will soon be carrying the Mk 13 Mod 7 sniper rifle, Marine spokesperson Capt. Christopher Harrison confirmed to Marine Corps Times Monday.

The selection of the Mk 13 Mod 7 closes a chapter in the Corps’ journey to upgrade its sniper teams with a new rifle that will extend range and lethality. "...

Well, it's about time.
.300 Win Mag is a great round.
 
Used to be the 1903 Springfield but they have come up in the world. I love the 50CAl video at long range. One shot one kill one gone. And they never hear it comming.
