Great rifle indeed. Would love to own one or three of them.

Quang Nam Province, 1970, just north of the Que Son Mountains. Marine M40 sniper rifle with Redfield 3x9.

M14 fitted with Starlight Scope. To my knowledge this is not an accurized M21.

When I was in the ARMY, the MPs didnt have snipers; but on protective details somebody always had a M21 with the Leatherwood ART scope. They werent in the M24 class; but I wouldnt have wanted to be in the cross hairs
