I also noticed how he cycled the action on that Barett. I also niticed that he switched to amidextrious shooting based on the different firearms he had his hands on.

Actually the HQ for Cheytac is in Arco, ID. The major share holder/owner lives in CT(unless he sold ownership). The ranges they use for demos, testing and training are located in Arco, ID. The M200 is made in two versions a “carbine” that has a shorter barrel(29″ if I recall) and it may or may not have a lighter receiver(fluted), the “standard” M200 has a 32″ barrel. Otherwise they are the same gun. The M310 rifle is a Lawton Machine made barrel and action mated to either a McMillan A5(slightly larger than a standard A5) or an aluminum stock(McRee’s was used, not sure if it still is).

WIlly you obviously do not know anything about the gun or the company. Arco Idaho is the sight of their long distance shooting range, not their corporate headquarters. The gun factory is not in arco either. Another thing, the gun available to the public is not the same gun CURRENTLY used in the US military. Get some facts straight before you post.

used at the beginning he was indeed a Remington 700 and a Barrett M82 Chey tac intervention is a much longer one has a grip on the lower cand a ramington700 not. Such intervention, he uses only one time because that mountain to see if he could still get a certain distance

GunPro, The scope used on the M200 was the Nightforce 5.5-22 X 56. They were supplied with the rifles.

When he used his m200 to shoot the dinty more, did you notice that the sound of the shot came half a second later than when he pulled the trigger?

The scope he used on his m200 was the Nightforce NXS 12- 42×56

he used the M40a3 once his friend died from the helicopter fire he used an M82A1 to shoot down the chopper and yes the M200 .408 was his personal collection

His rifle in the opening scene is wearing a U.S.Optics scope if i am not mistaken. And i am pretty sure if we are going to speculate on the caliber than it would have been a .338 lapua judging from the the muzzle views.

The M200(s) used in Shooter were .408 caliber. Barrels were actually smooth bore blank firing barrels(no rifling).
The only difference is the bore of the barrel. Receiver, mags, bolt etc are all the same. You can have the M200 with a .375 barrel and another in .408 and swaitch them as you want.
Early M200 barrels had a shoulder in them for an ops Inc suppressor. When CHEYTAC went to STW Systems M408 suppressors the shoulder was not needed and was eliminated from the machining process for the barrels.

The weapon in the movie may have been the M200 .375 because of the barrel design and slightly different stock, it may just be me but food for thought.

cheytac 200 is really amazing that it gives the sniper convenience in calculating the distance, wind velocity, humidity and others with its PDA included on the package, sooner there will be another models that are greater in performance

the m200 using normal rounds shoots 1.4mi but add the .408 round and it can fire farther then a .50cal now thats impressive

The rifle in the opening sence of shooter is the M40A3. it’s standard issue for marine snipers and packs the same punch per 100 yards than a .357 magnum point blank. Also the barret is semi-automatic not bolt action

The .408 would do the same thing I said with an exploding bullet or regular match bullet.

A .403 would do everything I said in my last post.

I here disagreements on what weapon was what. It blows my mind. First of all you have a .50 cal rifle. Who cares what type it is. Second taking head shots between 800-900 yards in a truck moving at 35 mph is pure bull. He is using a USMC M40A3 .308 with a Unertl scope. His spotter is using a Leupold spotting scope holding it with out a support, bad news. Now what would a real sniper use, if he saw trucks comming down that road. The .50 cal Raufuss round shot right into the engine and that truck would be history as well as anyone in it, and then the next truck gets it, and the next etc. One shot from a .50 cal at a chopper would go right through it and screw it up big time or blow the engine gas tank. If it was a Raufuss round, the damn chopper would be history. .Remember it’s a “Movie” not a sniper school. Great “Movie.” I have it, and love it as a movie and nothing more.
