The CheyTac Intervention, also known as the CheyTac M200, is an American bolt-action sniper rifle manufactured by CheyTac USA, which can also be classified as an anti-materiel rifle. It is fed by a seven-round detachable single-stack magazine (an optional five-round magazine is also available). It is specifically chambered in either .408 Chey Tac or .375 Chey Tac ammunition. CheyTac Inc. states that the system is capable of delivering sub-MOA accuracy at ranges of up to 2,500 yd (2,286 m). It is based on the EDM Arms Windrunner.
The CheyTac M200 Intervention has an overall length of 56 inches and can be shortened to 46.75 inches with the stock collapsed. Its weight is 31 lbs without an optic, and it has a 29-inch barrel. The rifle is designed for long-range precision, with an effective range of over 2,500 yards. It is a well-known weapon for its extreme precision, despite being available for civilian use. This has come under intense scrutiny in recent years.
