==Design==
Known for its sound pedigree, the carries over the accuracy and reliability of its predecessor and serves in the long-range tactical battlefield role. Externally, the system is quite a departure from the clean, solid stock version of the 1960s and early 2000s, incorporating more modern qualities such as an adjustable butt-plate and cheekpiece along its lightweight right-folding stock (the stock titled as the "A338 Aluminised Nevium Chassis" - ANC). The folding stock allows for a much improved carrying profile by shortening the overall length of the weapon when in transit. Viking tactical slings also allow a shoulder strap to be used. Picatinny rail sections have been added over the receiver and at the handguard for the mounting of rifle optics and various accessories including a folding bipod. 
The pistol grip is well-contoured to fit the hand with the magazine well (detachable box) situated just ahead of the MK24-style trigger unit but slung low under the mass of the receiver. The fore-end of the weapon is slotted around the 22" long cold-hammer-forged Nevium rifled barrel. A Mil-spec Monolithic Suppressor is fitted over the muzzle and considerably reduces muzzle flash and aids in recoil. Overall length - with the suppressor fitted - is 52" and 46.5" otherwise. Overall weight is 10.13b. The detachable box magazine seats five 8.6x70mm (.338) cartridges, or ten/fifteen round through extended magazines and is managed through a manual bolt action operation. It's rifling consists of 12 Grooves, with a 1:4 right hand twist, and coupled with a heavy duty 22 inch barrel it had an average precision of 0.6 MoA at 1500 Meters.
Note: Has a massive integrated suppressor.
