New DND Timberwolf

[Steve David]

This is for any of you military guys who knwo this. What is the "actual" military designation fo the new PGW Timerberwolf sniper rifle?

 

[dpopl8r]

I believe it is referred to by Canadian military as the: "MRSWS Timberwolf" or just "MRSWS".

Timberwolf I love the maple Leaf

 

[Teapot]

Is it 338 Lapua?

That maple leaf is the icing on the cake. Steve's the bestest.

PGW DEFENCE TECHNOLOGIES HAS BEEN AWARDED THE CANADIAN FORCES MRSWS CONTRACT TO REPLACE THE C3 RIFLE SYSTEM.

-Titanium 25 minute Picatinny rail.

-Drag bag.
-Action cover, suppressor cover.
-Lapua 250 grain Lock Base ammunition.
-Complete training package (user care and technician).

Prairie Gun Works also submitted a .338"-chambered candidate to the CF trials. The Timberwolf is in effect an enlarged version of PGWDTI’s Coyote design. The only trialled rifle able to meet the CF’s 1250m accuracy specifications, the Timberwolf’s acceptance was delayed because of flaws in the CF’s 800m spec. In April 2005 a contract was awarded to PGWDTI. The Timberwolf is the CF’s new .338" Lapua Medium-Range Sniper’s Weapon System.

C14 is the designation I believe. MRSW is the type of weapon system, not a name and Timberwolf is just an official nickname which I believe PGW picked.

ie SRAAW(l) short range anti armour weapon (light) (the weapons system) aka the M72 (the designation).

Anyone seen PGW Steve around? It seems like he's dropped off the map? Any news???

 

[Max Owner]

Wonder when their contract will be filled and life will return to normal for them?

 

[Slavex]

the gun was called Timberwolf long before they got the gov contract. much cooler name than Coyoti (gggggaaaaaaayyyyyy Steve).

 

[bigbull]

I thought they picked the Schmidt & Bender scope for their rifles.

Correct....

 

[TheCanuck]

I thought they picked the Schmidt & Bender scope for their rifles.

It would be even more correct to say the USMC picked the scope for the CF

 

[Steve David]

So what is the designation?

 

[gunasauras]

C14

Timberwolf

One small correction, if you may.

The CDN army kicked back on the US optics.
They wanted the 4-16X S&B PM scope that was on the test gun they tried.
This is the one I'm holding in my left hand (see my personal profile).
Belongs to my good buddy Gun Dr.
I witnessed Gun Dr. fire a 3 shot group at 560 yds and it measured 0.92 inch.
I saw the trace of the 3 rds go into the target with my 30X spoting scope.
I knew it was a good group but not until we went down there did I know how good it was.

PS: Now the brits want some. Clever, the japanese ! And AI lost the canadian contract.

Sorry to ask again but what caliber is it and who makes the scopes for it? How many units does Canada have?
