As a big bore enthusiast, and quite honestly anyone who has watched the movie Shooter, I was once interested in an Cheytac M200. Given the tremendous expense of them my interests kinda diminished while trying to save up for one and I never ended up getting one. It seems as if the company Cheytac had struggled several years ago... I had also researched the Thor 408 (my understanding of this is kinda fuzzy.. Did they make a copy of the Cheytac / rebranded / or what... I know I called them (Thor / Global Defense / Knesek) and the customer service I received was poor)
Now... jump to last weekend I saw they made an appearance at the IV8888 shoot. From what I heard from people (as well as videos / pics on social media) it was a bad ass machine and everyone was impressed. So naturally I had a tingling in my loins again and I'm considering ordering one. I actually spoke to them on the phone and they were very courteous and knowledgeable answering my questions. It was explained that they were under 'new management' and had made some slight upgrades to the platform this year.
So my question is two fold...
1. Anyone own a Cheytac M200? or Does anyone have any experience with them? Are they legit as being dead nuts accurate?...
2. 375 Cheytac vs 408 Cheytac: Pros / Cons? From my research seems as if most super long range is done with the 375... Now I want to preference this by the fact I will be using factory ammo and not reloading (Ammo recommendations would be good as well)
Thanks again, I appreciate any feedback you guys can provide!
