The Desert Tech Hard Target Interdiction (HTI) is a bullpup bolt-action sniper and anti-materiel rifle designed and manufactured by Desert Tech.

Design

The design of the HTI is largely based on the SRS-A1, scaled up to handle larger cartridges.

Barrels on the HTI can be changed within 60 seconds, allowing the chambering to be easily changed or worn out barrels to be quickly replaced.[1] The chamberings currently available from Desert Tech are .375 Cheyenne Tactical (CheyTac), .408 CheyTac, .416 Barrett and .50 BMG.[2]

The bullpup design means the action is behind the trigger. As with all bullpups, this allows for a shorter overall length, without having to reduce barrel length.

The HTI is manufactured in West Valley City, Utah, USA by Desert Tech (formerly Desert Tactical Arms).
