We are proud to offer another unique and historically significant rifle for our second annual raffle to benefit the Marine Scout Sniper War Memorial! Last years’ raffle rifle was the first in the M40 series from the Vietnam era. This one represents the last of the venerable M40 series of sniper rifles the Corps relied on for 57 years. The USMC M40A6 sniper rifle, the fifth and final in the M40 series, marks the end of both an iconic military sniper rifle program and the Marine scout sniper program itself.
The M40-series sniper rifle was initially adopted by the US Marine Corps in 1966 during the Vietnam War. It went through several design changes over the years, but it always featured a Remington 700 SA chambered in 7.62mm, including this, the last of the series - the USMC M40A6 sniper rifle. The M40A6 is the first and only rifle in the series to be built on a chassis, rather than on a traditional stock. The M40A6 was removed from service in 2024 after the deletion of the Scout Sniper program from the Corps.
Our prize rifle is an authentic clone of a USMC M40A6 sniper rifle with an ORIGINAL Schmidt & Bender M8541 Scout Sniper Day Scope. Each component (minus the receiver) of our prize rifle is an ORIGINAL Mil-Spec part just like those on actual Marine Corps sniper rifles. Even the receiver is in a similar serial number range to the originals. It is perhaps the most accurate depiction that can be made of the rifles carried by Marine Scout Snipers during the late GWOT-era without stealing one from the armory!
The prize rifle offered here is donated by SSA Member Ryan Niederman. It was purchased from a currently serving Marine scout sniper who used all the associated kit in his duties as a scout sniper. All the parts and accessories you see in the photographs is included in the prize package. The rifle was built by a MOS 2112 Precision Weapons Technician at PWS, Quantico, Virginia. It comes complete with all the correct markings, including the “PWS” stamp and an original gun book.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation (MSSHF) is to remember the sacrifices and honor the rich legacy of Marine Scout Snipers built over 105 years of faithful service.
We achieve our mission through research to uncover the forgotten history of Marine Scout Snipers; by positively accounting for those who served as Scout Snipers and gave their lives for their country; and by engaging with and educating all Americans about the important contributions made by Marine Scout Snipers to our nation's defense.
Our most urgent goal is to erect a suitable memorial to honor the memory of U.S. Marine Scout Snipers killed in action since World War I. This Marine Scout Sniper War Memorial will be placed at the National Museum of the Marine Corps outside of Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. Learn more about the Memorial here.
