I thank the USMC Scout Sniper Association for all that they do to help the Scout Sniper community and all Marines. As a Marine veteran, it’s an enormous honor to win a rifle that represents the courage, commitment, and sacrifices that our Scout Snipers have made throughout the Marine Corps’ prestigious history. As always I’ll do my best to uphold this honor as well as pay it forward. Semper Fidelis.

– Iwo Iwaszkiewicz
