    Hunters started using tall tripods in hunting blinds to hold the rifle, waiting for game, that way you reduce the noise of getting the rifle ready, you have less movement that could spook the game, and it reduces the fatigue of holding the rifle in a position for so long. Snipers use the tripods to watch over an area for counter sniping or security, observing an area waiting for an approved target to appear. They familiarize themselves with all the equipment at their disposal in all configurations. During Vietnam, when the Marines started an organized sniper program, they used commercial hunting rifles and scopes they bought from sporting goods stores in Hawaii using petty cash. The teams were selected based on their eyesight, both members had similar "zeroes" on the scope so they had the same point of impact. They would take turns as shooter or observer to reduce fatigue on missions. The observer had a spotting scope and an M-16 or M-16/M-203 combo for security and the sniper would have the bolt action sniper rifle. They used off the shelf Unertl scopes and Winchester Model 70's in .30-06 and had match ammo loaded for them. Later they used accurized M-14 rifles designated the M-21 chambered in .308 using match rounds made specially for the Marine snipers. They also invented a universal mount to put a scope on an M2 .50 Browning machinegun and trained themselves to tap the butterfly trigger to fire one shot at a target while watching over the valleys between firebases to harass enemy troops and supply lines, which were mostly on foot, bicycle, or ox pulled wagons, thinking they were unobserved and untouchable. Usually they were gone by the time a combat squad reached the area where they were observed, but a .50 bullet caught them a lot faster. :) Marine Sniper Gunny Sgt. Carlos Hathcock is legendary from that time period. He had the longest range confirmed kill for the longest time using a scoped M2 Browning, over 1500 yards, I think. He's the sniper that most movie tropes are based on like shooting an enemy sniper through the scope and sneaking behind enemy lines to take out high value targets, nearly being stepped on while crawling into position. He won the US Wimbledon Cup, not the tennis match, but a long range rifle shooting competition at Camp Perry where Marine and US Army snipers and sharpshooters, police snipers, and Olympic level shooters compete against each other, shooting with iron sights at 1000 yards. Marine snipers win it quite often.

    The M40 is a bolt-action rifle that has been in use since 1966 and has four variants: the M40, M40A1, M40A3, and M40A5. The M40A5 is shorter than the A3 and has a suppressor and rail for a night vision optic. The M40A6 is a modified version of the M40 that was introduced in 2016. The Mk22 is a longer-range, more versatile rifle that's designed to increase lethality and is ideal for littoral operations and expeditionary advanced base operations.

    The Knight Armament Corporation (KAC) 7.62 M-110 is now used by the US Army as a DMR. You "can" buy them commercially with the scope used by the Marines and Army...but they cost $30,000. I'll get the PSA M-110 we have at home for only $1800 and put my own scope on it instead. :)

    The Barrett 50 Caliber. One truly badass rifle, especially in the right hands. Lots of different models and calibers on this vid. It depends on the unit, the task, the best gun for each situation. My Remington Model 700 30/6 just hurts when you fire it. It's smaller than the 50 Cal. But was the only rifile used before the Barrett Models, Ect.

    In the early 70’s in SOG we were issued Remington 700 bolt action rifles chambered for .300 win mag with Schmidt and Bender scopes and sierra match king bullets ( the only .30 cal bullet capable of long range accuracy at the time ). Watching this video really makes me feel like a dinosaur.

      False - STA Platoon was removed from the Infantry battalion as it is now a MARSOC function to which MARSOC Snipers are attached to an infantry battalion. Generally only happens during Med Cruise deployments or other training exercises. STA Plt use to be a permanent unit in the HQ Co of each Infantry Battalion. I know - 3/4 (SOC), first ever MARSOC qualified SOC Battalion 1985.

Carlos Hancock was a badbutt to the extreme! He actually shot one of his kills through the scope of an enemy sniper trying to kill him. He was so awesome! There are other stories about him that are longer, but this one is pretty precise. He was a hero in the Vietnam War and much loved by real Americans that love our soldiers!

    Nothing dealier than a Marine with a rifle, sniper or not. If your a Marine and do not qualify expert its a tough life. Rifleman skills are a sense of Pride with Marines. Its how i got my respect as a FMF Corpsman, i could shoot with anyone in any skillset. Even competed in the military long range shooting comps. Marines take being a marksman more serious than any other service ive been around. The Scouts are top notch snipers. Some of the best. Out of a hundred shooters at comp, the too 10 were full of marines and spec ops. Some of the marines were not even snipers in the Corpse, like me, i was a Corpsman that loved shooting and hunting. I never finished better than 20 and that was a shock considering only about 20% of most competing were not apart of Spec Ops groups.

    The AR/M16 style rifle is a Knights Armament M110 SASR, as clearly seen around the 06:50 mark. It is a sniper rifle (Semi-Automatic Sniper Rifle). The bolt gun appears to be an M40A6?, and there is a Barret M82 variant in there as well. I am guessing that is also an M110 at around the 09:15 mark but your head is covering the markings. Can you not see them?

    KAC M110/Mark 11 Mod 0 was the DMR they were using. In .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm, for you, it would've been used in the M240/FN MAG. Actual sniper rifles were the Mark 13 Mod 7 and Mark 22. As well as the Barrett M107A3.
    Edit, the Mark 13 Mod 7 is based off the M40A5/Remington 700, also used in the video. Made this before I watched the whole way lol.

    Seems it's quite safe to approach the Marines by boat. At least they're less likely to hit you with a rifle, although a few rounds might fly nearby. Snipers are moderately successful on the track. but the accuracy seen is what happens in real conditions. I'm calm. Moderate shooters at best.
