Satevari MSWP
A proposed multi-caliber modular sniper platform from STC Delta.
The Satevari (meaning "Dagger") MSWP is a modular, multi-caliber sniper rifle platform from STC Delta, still in the proposal stage. It is aimed mainly at military users, with limited civilian availability. The rifle is built as a convertible precision system, retaining high accuracy across long distances, with its maximum effective range varying by the cartridge and conversion kit used.
The design includes an adjustable stock with an integrated monopod for added stability and precision. A specialized ergonomic and orthopedic grip reduces hand muscle strain for comfort. An active-reactive muzzle brake cuts down overall recoil. The base configuration can be further altered and modified.
Its modularity supports a multi-caliber setup, though specific details remain unspecified. The weapon can fire seven cartridge types, from .308 Winchester up to .50 BMG, giving it the ability to penetrate both soft and lightly armored targets.
According to the designer, field-tested accuracy with a bipod is 0.3 MOA; a fixed setup may be even more accurate.
The name "Satevari" comes from a ceremonial Georgian dagger worn with the traditional Chokha national dress. This designation may hint at the rifle's precision.

Lore & Background
The Satevari MSWP was developed by STC Delta as a convertible precision sniper rifle. Its design includes an adjustable stock with an integrated monopod for stability and accuracy, and a special ergonomic and orthopedic grip intended to reduce muscle strain in the user's hand. Active-reactive muzzle brakes reduce overall recoil. The base design can be further altered and modified.
The rifle's modularity allows a multi-caliber setup with yet unspecified details, enabling it to fire a total of 7 cartridge types ranging from .308 Win to .50 BMG, giving it penetration capabilities against both soft and lightly armoured targets. The designer states an overall accuracy of 0.3 MOA field tested with bipod, with fixed configurations possibly being more accurate.
The name 'Satevari' comes from a type of ceremonial Georgian dagger carried together with a traditional national dress called Chokha. The specific designation may be an implication as to the rifle's accuracy.
Reader's Guide
The Satevari MSWP represents a proposed entry into the modular sniper rifle market, emphasizing convertibility across a wide range of cartridges from .308 Win to .50 BMG. Its design incorporates features such as an adjustable stock with integrated monopod, an ergonomic orthopedic grip, and active-reactive muzzle brakes to manage recoil. The claimed accuracy of 0.3 MOA in field testing with a bipod positions it as a precision platform, though the designer notes that fixed configurations may yield even better results. The rifle's multi-caliber capability, covering seven cartridge types, allows it to address both soft and lightly armoured targets, making it versatile for military and limited civilian use. The name, derived from a Georgian dagger, ties the weapon to a cultural symbol of precision and craftsmanship. As a proposed system, its legacy is defined by its modular design philosophy and the potential for adaptation across various operational roles, though details of its conversion mechanism remain unspecified.
