One of the most recognized names in military sniping during the Vietnam conflict was Marine Corps marksman Carlos Hathcock. During his two tours, he was credited with 93 confirmed kills. The rifle he relied on for very precise long range shot placement was a Model 70 Winchester, of .30-06 caliber, topped with an 8x USMC Sniper scope.
The Wm. Malcolm 8X USMC scope is outfitted with a fine crosswire reticle. The crosswire reticle is fastened to the reticle lock ring.
