M14
Captain Hadley (Clancy Brown ) uses an M14 Rifle fitted with a scope to kill Tommy (Gil Bellows ) when he tries to tell the prison warden that he knew the man who really killed Dufresne's wife and lover. It is not likely an M21, since prisons aren't usually outfitted with Marine sniper weaponry. Since at the time this scene takes place, the M14 and M21 rifles were in frontline service with the U.S. Military, it is doubtful they would be issued to guards in some prison in New England.
