The EDM Arms Windrunner is a bolt-action, magazine-fed, takedown sniper rifle created by American firearms designer Bill Ritchie.
There are several models of the Windrunner, each chambered in different calibers. All models have no forearms, though several manufacturers, including Cheyenne Tactical and RND Manufacturing, produces forearms which can be fitted onto a Windrunner.[1] The most popular model is the M96 in .50 BMG.
A modified version of the Windrunner is manufactured by Cheyenne Tactical as the CheyTac M200 Intervention. The smaller receiver version of the Windrunner, previously manufactured by EDM Arms as the Mini-Windrunner, is currently manufactured by Nemesis Arms as the Vanquish.[2]
To date, the Windrunner has seen military service in Afghanistan and Iraq. [3] [4]
