Extreme long-range shooters know that the CheyTacⓇ M200 Intervention delivers performance, but you have to pay for it. The thing costs as much as a car. It costs more than many cars.
So if cost is the only barrier to your purchase, here are a few ways to alleviate that aspect of ownership.
Buy from the Right Venue
With a sticker price in excess of $11,000, paying it all up front in cash might not be an option. But financing will gouge you for interest. So what can you do?
You can buy from a distributor – like B&B Firearms – that offers a better species of payment plan.
They let you put 20% down, then pay off the balance over the following weeks, interest free.
Read that again. Check their website for details or get in touch with them directly by phone or email (contact information via the previous link).
There’s no better option; it’s like a “free” loan.
Get Your Ammo There, Too
Another thing that’s going to factor into the cost of a CheyTacⓇ .408 Intervention for sale is going to be the ammo. Among the most expensive centerfire rounds out there, each one can cost comfortably more than $10.
In a sense, the cost is justifiable. They are loaded to extremely precise specifications, with solid copper, CNC-machined bullets. The copper in the bullets alone is quite expensive.
But still, there are smart ways to go about stocking up the proverbial ammo can. Since B&B Firearms loads their own, they pass some of that economy along to you. If you’re getting the rifle there, you might as well get your ammo there as well.
Skip Some of the Peripherals
One of the selling points of a CheyTacⓇ .408 Intervention for sale is that it will come with a lot of peripherals that you’d otherwise have to buy.
You can still upgrade them if you want, but an M200 Intervention will come with a muzzle brake as well as a modular chassis that is highly adjustable. The platform also comes with an integral tripod rest.
So if you had any of those things on your list, cross them off.
Don’t Get It Customized with Some Fancy Skin
Some sellers offer special skins, Cerakote coatings and other finishes as customization options for the M200 rifles they sell.
And while these can personalize the rifle, they’re often pretty expensive. In some cases they can cost as much as $1000.
Let’s just be honest for a second. Do you really need to personalize an M200? Won’t the fact that you own one of these elite rifles be personalization enough?
Shop Smart for Optics
Lastly, you will want a quality optic for long-range shooting, but shop smart about it. You don’t need to buy the rifle and the scope at the same time.
Wait till you find a good deal on a long-range rifle scope, then pull the trigger. That can save you substantially overall on the bottom line.
