Did they use that high of rings to make it easier to set it up with nvd gear like the magnum?

Re: GAC .408 CHEY TAC " THUNDER "

the bipod is great, but we need to try something different with the possibility to have a cant control, this one is fixed, very stable, not the best for field use.

The owner of the bipod is Pinco Palla.... Maurizio thank for your assistance in this project.....

Re: GAC .408 CHEY TAC " THUNDER "

Bat I think.

BIG ONE: “our little bazooka”; the main features of this very very long range rifle are scaled up in accordance to “big boomer” calibers used here in, all derived from 408 CHEY-TAC® case.
For this project we use two Bat Machine products: a 10” (length) x 1.750” (diameter) octagonal action or a (slightly) smaller 8,5 “ (length) x1.55” (diameter) one (see reviews). The barrel is a stainless Krieger “single cut rifled” with a detachable 3 expansion chambers muzzle brake. As stock we suggest a McMillan BigMac, Tooley MBR or a Tactical A5 one and we “lock and load” this massive barrelled action by three huge aluminium pillars + glass bedding. A Jewell BR or HVR trigger is “de rigueur” on this beauty! The available calibers for the BIGONE are: 408 CHEY-TAC®, 375 CHEY-TAC® and 338/408. The price of a BIG ONE rifle is approx. € 6.300,00 (20% Italian V.A.T. included).

Re: GAC .408 CHEY TAC " THUNDER "

Looks like a lawton action and the stock is a PDC custom.

Re: GAC .408 CHEY TAC " THUNDER "

Thanks, PP

this part:

"accuracy half MOA till 2000 meters" got my attention...

Would this be an average under ideal conditions, or just the best group experienced?

Re: GAC .408 CHEY TAC " THUNDER "

esactly was 1920 m...... second option of your question but done in very good meteo conditions.

Saw that rifle on a Military Channel show, and it is VERY impressive. So is the computer that you can get with it. I'm impressed.

MPB ,

that was not this rifle , probably you watched the M200 INTERVENTION test documentary .

This rifle is the first one of this kind , just a prototipe , done by GRANDE ARMERIA CAMUNA in Italy after a RFP from one of our special forces unit .

Actually is under T&E by them , after that , if everything'll go right away , they'll place their order for more rifles hopefully .

Davide have had a tight collaboration with the manufacturer for its development , I just did very few things about that .

Bot1980 ,

Re: GAC .408 CHEY TAC " THUNDER "

Hello.... till now works great,we are using Trimble Nomad L800 and last version of FFS IV LE at the end of this month I'll be with some guys from Italian special forces to do some tests to check accuracy and eventually POI shift with different shooters, suppressor POI shift.
