Description

Inspired by the original USMC M40 sniper rifles of the Vietnam era, the Hi-Lux M40 3-9×40 MK2 is purpose-built for competitors in CMP’s Vintage Sniper Match, specifically within the Vietnam War class. Developed in collaboration with distinguished shooters, this second-generation M40 integrates field-tested feedback to deliver unmatched authenticity, precision, and reliability on the firing line.

Key upgrades set the MK2 apart. Stainless steel turret internals enhance durability and ensure consistent adjustments, even under heavy use. Both the scope saddle and eyepiece housing feature extended thread lengths for a stronger, more secure lock-up. To improve target visibility, the center crosswire has been refined by 15% (to just 0.001”), giving shooters a clearer sight picture on the aiming black when favoring the shot.

Authentic to its Vietnam-era roots yet refined for today’s competition, the M40 3-9×40 MK2 stands as the trusted choice for marksmen competing for points, medals, and legacy.

These are the optics that we include on our M40 builds.
