The CMP recently added a new class of rifles to the vintage sniper matches. This added a list of rifles that were in service from 1954 through 1976, which obviously includes guns from the Vietnam War. One of those options is the XM21 rifle with “USAMTU accurizing modifications” equipped with a Redfield Accu-Range 3-9x or Leatherwood ART scope.
Fulton Armory already has a reputation for building match-grade M14 clones, and they are now selling a turnkey rifle for these matches. It comes ready to rock with a Hi-Lux reproduction of the Redfield scope on a properly-installed mount. Fulton guarantees 1.5 MOA with Federal Gold Medal Match ammo, which is pretty impressive for this kind of rifle. Prices start at $3,765 and there are a variety of customization options available.
