Students with the Scout Sniper School, School of Infantry West, Detachment Hawaii, used the mil-dot reticle pattern in the scopes of their M40A series sniper rifles to measure targets and approximate range during an unknown distance qualification course at Range Training Facility Kaneohe Bay on Marine Corps Base Hawaii Aug. 5. The mil-dot pattern is utilized when laser range finders are nonfunctioning or unable to be utilized. “Snipers have to be able to calculate unknown distance without a laser range finger so they know the basics and are still able to function if it isn’t working,” said Sgt. Brandon A. Standridge, an instructor with the Scout Sniper School, School of Infantry West, Detachment Hawaii.
