The Chey-tac shoots very well. A Marine Sniper has two confirmed kills in Iraq at 2200 yards with the exact same model. I do not know of any commercial ammo. The Chey-tac has a brake on it, so recoil is not bad (300 magnum level) but the percussion is no joke.

Who manufactured that one? How much do they cost?

That is the correct order. The CheyTac is a windrunner by EDM arms. I am not sure what they cost. I am friends with the owner so I got the good guy price.

Friends with the owner...

Is Wendell still involved in that operation?

What optics do you have on the Windrunner?

I don't know of a Wendell, it is a NightForce scope
