The configuration is to be known as the Squad-Designated Marksman Rifle. The TS-30A2 Mark 4 MR\/T has previously been fielded with the Mk 12 Special Purpose Rifle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pride ourselves on building optics that deliver elite optical performance and unparalleled reliability,\u201d Bruce Pettet, president and chief executive officer for Leupold &amp; Stevens, Inc., said. \u201cWe\u2019re ecstatic that the Marine Corps selected the TS-30A2 Mark 4 MR\/T. The men and women of the U.S. armed forces deserve the very best, and we\u2019re proud to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The TS-30A2 Mark 4 MR\/T, which features a 2.5-8x36mm design, was designed with mid-range applications in mind, and has easy-to-adjust tactical turrets and range estimating reticles. A 30mm maintube provides greater strength and light transmission. As with all Leupold riflescopes, the optic is waterproof, fog proof, and shockproof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe TS-30A2 Mark 4 is the perfect optic for those looking to deliver fast, precise rifle fire,\u201d said Sam Horstman, director of military sales for Leupold &amp; Stevens, Inc. \u201cFurther, like all Leupold optics, it\u2019s been strenuously tested for durability, and fully meets the rugged standards set by the Marine Corps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on Leupold<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> products, please visit us at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.leupold.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Leupold.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USMC is in the process of fielding the M38, which features a Leupold TS-30A2 Mark 4 MR\/T riflescope atop an M27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":40914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[3933,3932],"class_list":["post-40912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-from-the-industry","tag-leupold-ts-30a2-mark-4-mr-t","tag-united-states-marine-corps"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40914"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
