Thanks Max!

The rifles barrel looks too short for a good long range sniper rifle.
So freaking cool. I’m looking forward to seeing one at SHOT.
That thing is just sexsi!!
Has anyone seen a fair comparison between the 408 Cheytac and the 416 Barrett?
Lance, You don’t need a long barrel for a long range rifle. In fact a longer barrel in modren rifles are there to stablize the bullet faster for shorter ranges. With good rifleing, crown, and projectile the barrel lenght is not the biggest determining factor in long range accuracy. Now there is a minimum barrel length needed to get the optimum power from slow burning powder used in modren rifle ammunition. Otherwise you are still burning powder and releasing pressure from the rifle barrel to early.
