\"\"Marines are already getting their hands on the deadly new\u00a0Mk13 sniper rifle<\/a>, just months after the Corps announced it was finally replacing the Vietnam War era M40 rifle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The new\u00a0Mk 13 Mod 7 sniper rifle<\/a>\u00a0is now finding its way into the inventories of 1st Marine Expeditionary Force as of the week of Sept. 17, according to Barbara Hamby, a spokeswoman with Marine Corps Systems Command.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cBased on the approved fielding plan, the MK13 Mod 7 is being fielded to units to include infantry and reconnaissance battalions and scout sniper schoolhouses,\u201d Hamby said in an emailed statement to Marine Corps Times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The new .300 Winchester Magnum, or Win Mag round, sniper rifle is a big improvement over its predecessor the M40A6 and boasts the ability to hit targets with precision at more than 1,000 yards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Snipers who served in Iraq and Afghanistan have long complained of the need to hit targets beyond the range of the M40.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

After the Corps identified a capability gap in the max effective range of its sniper rifle it set out to test and evaluate potential suitable replacements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Mk13 Mod 7, which is already the primary sniper rifle of the Marine Raiders, was eventually selected and announced by Corps officials this spring.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Corps says the new Mk 13 will increase the range of scout snipers by roughly 300 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Snipers in the community are also excited about the heavier grain .300 Win Mag round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“The .300 Winchester Magnum round will perform better than the current 7.62 NATO ammo in flight, increasing the Marine Sniper’s first round probability of hit,\u201d Chief Warrant Officer 3 Tony Palzkill, Battalion Gunner for Infantry Training Battalion, said in a command release. \u201cThis upgrade is an incredible win and will allow snipers to engage targets at greater distances.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

While Marines have carried some version of the M40 since 1966, it\u2019s still going to remain in the Corps\u2019 schoolhouses and operational forces for training.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The new Mk 13 Mod 7 is also equipped with a very powerful day optic known as the Nightforce Advanced Tactical Riflescope.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The new scope uses the Tremor3 reticle, which allows a user to rapidly gauge windage options and rapidly acquire and engage multiple targets at far distances.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cThe new day optic allows for positive identification of enemies at greater distances, and it has a grid-style reticle that allows for rapid re-engagement without having to dial adjustments or \u2018hold\u2019 without a reference point,\u201d Sgt. Randy Robles, Quantico Scout Sniper School instructor, said in a command release. \u201cWith this type of weapon in the fleet, we will increase our lethality and be able to conceal our location because we are creating a buffer between us and the enemy.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Fielding of the Mk 13 will continue through 2019, to units at II MEF and III MEF, according to Hamby.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
