I'd still love to see it happen, but good luck finding optics that allow you to find a coyote at 5000m. A USO SN-9 10x42x80 might get you close.

Just wondering... close...It was two kills with an Accuracy International 338 LM at 8,120 feet and that equates to about 1.54 miles, but I don't want to split hairs lol.

That was broken last year.
Thanks, gents!

The more I read about the .408 Cheytac I dont think they were talking about this one. But here is an interesting video from the Military Channel as they list it as the top sniper caliber

The video is awesome...but it's not really talking about the top sniper CALIBER per say. Its talking about the top sniper SYSTEM. The M200 Intervention wins hands down because it's a total sniper system rather than just a gun or just a bullet.
I think personally that the .408 is superb anyway, but many folks in the long range and I mean "LONG" range are talking up the the .375CT even more.
