The Snipex T-Rex is a single-shot anti-materiel rifle chambered for the 14.5×114mm cartridge and manufactured by XADO-Holding Ltd., Kharkiv, Ukraine.

Design[]

Thie T-rex is a bullpup bolt-action rifle. During loading, the cartridge is inserted into the breech opening with the bolt open. Barrel locking is achieved through a rotating bolt. The floating barrel is in free recoil when the bullet flies out. Recoil is suppressed due to the muzzle brake, the effect of a recoil isolator, an elastic multilayer shoulder pad, and a balanced weight.

The rifle is suitable for shooting resting both on the right and left shoulders. It has a height-adjustable cheek rest that can be installed on the right or on the left side. The rifle has a bipod and an adjustable rear support, which allows for adjustment to the shooter's needs.

The rifle has a Picatinny rail with 50 MOA gradient, on which various sighting devices can be mounted.

History[]

The first development was presented at the XIV International Specialized Exhibition “Arms and Security 2017”.[2] In the course of constant improvements, a number of changes were made to the design of the rifle.[2] Based on the state examinations results, the 14.5×114 mm caliber Snipex T- REX rifle has been adopted by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in 2020.[3]
