CheyTac Intervention

Ballistics

The CheyTac Intervention M200 rifle is fed using detachable single stack magazines, which hold 5 rounds. It fires .408 CheyTac ammunition. CheyTac papers state that the entire system is capable of delivering sub-MOA accuracy at the ranges of up to 2500 yards (2270 meters), one of the longest ranges of all modern-day sniper rifles.

Technical data

  • Caliber: .408 CheyTac
  • Length: 1400 mm (stock retracted), 1220 mm (stock collapsed)
  • Barrel: 762 mm (30 in)
  • Magazine: 5 rounds
  • Operation: bolt-action
  • Range: 2500 yd (2270 m)

Equipment

The CheyTac Intervention M200 rifle is part of CheyTac's 'Long Range Rifle System' (LRRS), which 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 CheyTac set of support equipment:

CheyTac OPSINC: The Suppressor The CheyTac OPSINC suppressor, manufactured by OPSINC, is a stainless steel long life suppressor. The suppressor attaches in a unique manner to enhance system accuracy and adds 25 ‹ 30 ft/s (8 to 9 m/s) to the standard muzzle velocity. The all stainless steel construction with no replaceable parts guarantees a suppressor life that equals or exceeds the life of the rifle. Even when totally filled with water, the suppressor can be drained in 6 seconds that allows very rapid employment when emerging from water. If the operator chooses to switch to the muzzle brake, a repeatable 6 MOA zero change for elevation is required.

CheyTac Day and Night Optical Sight Systems: There are two different day optical sights available. The primary sight is the Nightforce NXS 5.5 ‹ 22X variable with a 56 mm Objective. The alternate sight that is still in development is the US Optics SN-9. The night vision system chosen is the AN/PVS-14 GEN III Pinnacle monocular. The PVS-14 is attached to the day optic using the Monoloc device. The Monoloc is already in use by several SOCOM units as well as the PVS-14. An AN/PEQ-2 IR Laser is used for system support with the night vision sight under conditions where there is insufficient ambient light or the IR Laser is needed for further target illumination. The device is attached to a titanium strut.

The KESTREL 4000 sensor package is used to measure the wind, air temperature, and air pressure. It also collects relative humidity, wind chill, and dew point. All of these points of data will be fed directly into the IT-70 tactical computer so that no manual input is necessary.

Paper Data Tables are provided in the event the tactical computer fails or the batteries for the device fail. This will allow the sniper team to continue their mission by using paper data and a calculator to compensate for the air temperature, air pressure and ammunition temperature.
