The 14.5-pound C14, adopted in 2005, is built from Prairie Gun Works’ commercial .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6mm) platform chassis with a McMillian stock, fully adjustable trigger package and 26-inch heavy free-floating spiral fluted Kreiger barrel with a threaded muzzie for quiet time. Effective range is 1,500m and the gun’s USO SN-3 EREK 3.2-17x power optic is capable of pulling that off.
Canadian sniper teams also use an AR-10T (designated the C7CT) in .308 as a backup gun when downrange– which is always a good backup to have.
