You may have heard of the CheyTac M200 Intervention rifle, which is one of the most effective ELR, or extreme long-range platforms that has ever been developed.
This post should (hopefully) answer any questions remaining on the matter.
- What caliber is the CheyTac M200 Intervention rifle?
The CheyTac M200 Intervention is available in two calibers, which are the .375 and .408 CT, also developed by Cheyenne Tactical.
Both of these calibers are excellent for extreme long range shooting, and both cartridges are loaded with high-BC, solid copper, CNC-machined bullets.
The .375 CT has a higher muzzle velocity and shoots a little bit flatter than the .408, but the latter is a little heavier, so it carries more energy to the target.
Either can be highly effective for extreme long-range competition or target dispatch. Also, this rifle is compatible with interchangeable barrels, so by swapping the barrel, one rifle can fire either cartridge.
- How much does a CheyTac M200 cost?
That depends on what comes in the package, but you can expect one of these rifles to cost somewhere in the area of, or a little more than, $10,000.
- What is the effective range of a CheyTac M200 Intervention?
As an ELR rifle, the CheyTac M200 Intervention rifle has an extremely long effective range, at 2500 yards, if not greater.
Its accuracy is also well-adapted to ELR shooting; the rifle boasts sub-MOA accuracy.
- How much does an M200 Intervention rifle weigh?
The rifle itself weighs approximately 31 pounds, which on its own is another selling point as this helps to counteract recoil.
However, that is the weight without any attachments, including any potential optics, which can add considerable weight.
