BUILD YOUR SKILLS WITH THE USMC'S ELITE SCOUT SNIPERS The Scout Snipers of the United States Marine Corps are among the most respected reconnaissance, surveillance and long-distance rifle specialists in the world. Highly skilled in field craft and marksmanship, the Scount Sniper is able to penetrate the enemy's defenses, provide forward recon and observation, and deliver precision fire on selected high-value targets, without detection or capture. This Handbook illustrates the proper and effective methods of scout-sniping in offensive combat and defensive force-protection. It also covers selection, training, employment, equipment selection and care. Containing the distilled wisdom of the USMC's instructors and experts over decades, the Handbook is designed and proven to hone a student of any current ability into a competition-ready, combat-grade precision marksman. Learning long-range shooting need not be difficult, requiring only an understanding of the fundamentals and experience! Current edition note: this publication supersedes the old MCWP 3-15.3 and FMFM 1-3B.

IMPORTANT: Elements of this current-issue Handbook have been in use by the USMC since the early 1980s (if it ain't broke...)
