Men's Journal Sniper article and video

The Dec/January Men's Journal (don't laugh) has a decent article on a sniper. Even posted a video at The Way of the Sniper|Men’s Journal.

Don't shoot the messenger (pun intended), I don't vouge for the accuracy of the article. Merely passing it on.

Never heard of a Chey Tac 408 but quite interesting it's accurate up to 2,500 yards.

Good article and thanks for passing it along.

Me neither but I did the leg work for the manufacturer site, just in case anyone else was curious.

They used a Chey Tac on "The Unit" several times, and it was what Bob Lee Swagger used on the stew can in the mountains in "Shooter".

That is the same gun as in Modern Warfare 2, but they call it The Intervention.

The Chey Tac 408 IS called the Intervention.

Anyways, he sounds like a shitbag to me, "left the service voluntarily because of his superiors" More like admin sep'd.

cheytacs are great rifles but due to inability to be anti-material are not widely employed.
