The CheyTac Intervention also known as the CheyTac M200, is an American bolt-action  sniper rifle  manufactured by CheyTac USA, which can also be classified as an anti-materiel rifle . It is fed by a 7-round detachable single-stack magazine  (an optional 5-round magazine is also available). It is specifically chambered in either .408 Chey Tac  or .375 Chey Tac  ammunition. CheyTac Inc. states that the system is capable of delivering sub-MOA  accuracy at ranges of up to 2,500 yd (2,286 m). It is based on the EDM Arms Windrunner.

The M200 Intervention is chambered in either the .408 CheyTac or .375 CheyTac cartridge. CheyTac specially developed the .408 CheyTac /.375 CheyTac  cartridge for long-range use. The cartridge is optimized for accuracy by a balance of the rotational and linear drag , which reduces yaw  and precession , and keeps the tip of the projectile pointed along the trajectory. The M200 Intervention is fed through a detachable 7 round box magazine, an optional 5 round box magazine is also available.[2]  Alternatively, cartridges can be loaded individually directly into the chamber.

The M200 Intervention uses a free floating heavy-fluted barrel, which can be quickly removed for replacement or storage and transportation, and the shroud at the rear serves as a mount for an integral folding bipod and a carrying handle.

The M200 Intervention features the McArthur PGRS-1 muzzle brake , which can be used to reduce recoil. The muzzle brake is also removable and can be replaced by an OPSINC suppressor.

The M200 Intervention has a collapsible and retractable buttstock that is adjustable for length of pull  and for easy storage and transportation. The buttstock also contains an integral rear monopod, which is hinged, and can be folded up when not in use.

There are two different day optical sights available for the M200 Intervention. The standard optical sight is the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 variable magnification telescopic sight  with a 56 mm objective. The alternative optical sight is the US Optics SN-9. The night vision system is the AN/PVS-14 GEN III Pinnacle monocular, which attaches to the day optic using the Monoloc device. An AN/PEQ-2 infrared laser  provides additional lighting in low-light conditions. The device is attached to a titanium  strut.

The M200 Intervention comes with a portable advanced ballistic computer, laser rangefinder binoculars and meteorological and environmental sensor package. All these components, together with the sniper rifle, are part of the CheyTac Long Range Sniper System (LRSS) and are linked to the ballistic computer. It provides all necessary data and calculations for accurate long range firing.

CheyTac states that "the CheyTac LRRS is a solid anti-personnel system to 2,000 yd (1,829 m)." The primary intent of the .408 is as an extreme range anti-personnel system. Groups of 7 to 9 in (18 to 23 cm) at 1,000 yd (914 m), 10 in (25 cm) at 1,500 yd (1,372 m) and 15 in (38 cm) at 2,000 yd (1,829 m) have been consistently obtained.[6] [7]

Groups of 19 in (48 cm) at 2,100 yd (1,920 m) and 29 in (74 cm) at 2,400 yd (2,200 m) have also been obtained. All groups that are up to 3,000 yd (2,743 m) are less than 1 minute of angle  for vertical dispersion.
