Better than MA DEUCE http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sn63-e.htm The entire idea behind the CheyTac LRRS (Long Range Rifle System) is to provide long range soft target interdiction (read: anti-personnel sniper) rifle package, with maximum effective range, but relatively compact and light. To achieve this goal, the professor John D. Taylor designed the .408 CheyTac cartridge. Being mid-way in size between the mighty .50BMG and already established long-range favorite .338Lapua, the .408 features a streamlined bullet with advanced patented design. This design allows the standard 419 grain (27.15 gram) bullet to retain its supersonic velocity at the ranges beyond 2000 meters (2200 yards). At the ranges beyond 700 meters the .408 bullet has more energy than the standard .50BMG ball bullet. The .408 cartridge also is lighter than .50BMG cartridge by about 1/3, and generates less recoil. The original CheyTac Intervention M100 rifle is based on the Windrunner .50 caliber takedown rifle from EDM Arms. Current Intervention M200 sniper rifles still are based on Windrunner design, but with several modifications. The Long Range Rifle System also includes CheyTac tactical computer (commercial PDA with CheyTac ballistic software), Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X scope, and Kestrel 4000 wind/temperature/atmospheric pressure sensors, linked to the PDA. The Tactical Computer with sensors and internal ballistic database provides all necessary data for long range fire. CheyTac papers state that the entire System is capable to deliver sub-MOA accuracy at the ranges of up to 2500 yards (2270 meters)... rest of the article is at the link above - I saw this weapon on 'Futureweapons' WITH a suppressor. Made the report quite acceptable and lowered the recoil even more. Like firing a .308 based weapon that delivers MORE kinetic energy to the targert than a .50 BMG round can, out to approximately 2000 meters... (from Futureweapons). I WANT ONE.

Re: Better than MA DEUCE Cute little one! Was looking at information on an old big one today. Built by the SKS factory in WWII. Five shot semi-auto shoulder fired anti-tank rifle. Shot a 14.something mm 900 grain round at 3300 fps. Was usefull on everything except the Tiger III's and IV's[which had to be shot in the tracks or rear] Was used later for snipeing in Korea. Wish I would have saved a link for you.

Re: Better than MA DEUCE That could come in real handy out in eastern Colorado with the wind and long shots. I was thinking about an AR-30 in .338 Lapua, but this is interesting as well.
