Rick:
My, there is something strangely familiar about this story.
I am sure the fellow presenting this rifle and ammo made detailed technical claims concerning the design of the rifle and the ammo. Do you recall any of the technical features that were used as selling points for this particular rifle and ammo?

Gene, you know the dude. I refused to be there becasue I knew there would be an arguement. Of course there was one anyway, but when I get "It would have been a .5 moa group if it had hit" then it is time to hang it up. When I get six shots with only two within measureing distance and they want to measure the group off of those two shots, I call BS. This too has happened at other shots.

He refused, and Ed rode him like a borrowed pony. I do not believe that DM is with them any more.

We got two hits, out of 6, on a 6 x 6 target board at 900 meters with it and that was with the rep shooting, not us. The ammo is also dangerously over pressured and I would be hesitant in shooting it under hot desert conditions. It may be fine at first but he pressures are going to climb.
At 900 meters you are looking at almost 20 inches with a 2 moa gun, now go to 4 moa and consistently hitting a human is going to be difficult at best.

This Chey-tec being discussed, would you gentlemen be referring to the Intervention rifle chambered for .408 Cheyenne Tactical Cartridge?
The same model that was demonstrated during blackwater shootout?
TR Sir, since I believe it's mentioned somewhere here you were present during the LEMAS demo, I assume you were there (and tested it) during the .408 CheyTac demo?
Having neither access nor smackaroos to the rifle, I've been drooling ever since I came across the review years ago. I thought it was a wonder-weapon. Accuracy, range, take-down and all.
I guess you can't believe 100% everything you read and assume it's valid anywhere, anytime. Just plain dumb civvie here
