TAC-408

The TAC-408 (Known as RIA-408 in manuals) is a sniper rifle manufactured by Rubicon Corporation. It can be also classed as an Anti-materiel rifle due to its remarkably large round.
== Design==
The Rubicon (Known as RIA-408 in manuals and in displays) is a manually operated, rotating bolt sniper rifle/anti material rifle. It features a Picatinny rail on the top of its receiver for mounting various optical sights. The 's 9090 Titanium alloy frame, upper and lower receivers are aluminized to decrease weight, while maintaining extreme durability and service life for lesser replacements when needed. It weighs about 22 Pounds when fully loaded, making it fairly lightweight for an Anti materiel rifle, as typical Anti materiel rifles weigh more than thirty pounds, or less.
The TAC-408 features a collapsible and retractable buttstock that is adjustable for length of pull for ease storage and transportation. The buttstock also contains an integral rear monopod, which is hinged, and can be folded up when not in use.
To achieve balanced flight the rifling twist rate for the .408 Interceptor chambering was chosen at 330.2 mm (1:13 in), with eight 0.4080 in diameter grooves, 0.4010 in diameter bore and a 0.050" land width, square cut, with no taper.
It notably uses uses a Nevium 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, with the .408 Interceptor cartridge is optimised 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.
In summary, it packs the power of an anti-materiel rifle, but exhibits extreme precision, stability and range effectiveness of a sniper rifle.
