They're looking at a down-scaled M82 Barrett as one possibility. Also, an upgraded SVD. Most likely? Max's rebarreled PTRS.
The purchasing delegates have asked me to contact Brandon Herrera, and see if he could reverse- and re-engineer his M82A2 for 14.5mm, for the new SDMR.
So, conventional sniper rifle, bullpup SDMR.

Bullpup all the way, since Elbonia isn't stuck on outdated prejudices!
Seriously now - a bullpup rifle like Desert Tech's makes a lot of sense, especially if the barrel has to be long already.
A more pressing question, however, should be - semiauto or bolt action?
Another important question - off the shelf or custom made?
DT SRS HTI vs Barrett M107 - a suppressor could be added and still have a shorter OAL
Noreen BN408 semiauto - OAL is as big as it gets
Leader 50BMG vs M4 - semiauto and compact
Lynx 50BMG vs Barrett

What about concussion from the massive muzzle breaks? Is that a big enough issue to make bullpups less desireable? Then again, if the point is to secretly sabotage the country's military....?
Of course we are talking about Elbonia here, a country famous for its mud. Whatever is chosen, it needs to be sent to Arizona so the Forgotten Weapons guys can perform their signature mud-test. Certainly this will avoid all the expense of developing a comprehensive set of tests that are actually pertinent to the area where these firearms will be used!

Once you get to these large-frame guns bolt-action bullpup is the way to go especially as these days everyone is using suppressors (add cca 30cm in lenght) and rifles become lances ,but at present, there is no off the shelf rifle specifically for Cheytac , most are 50BMG rifles that offer a conversion kit for Cheytac
As Snipers cover much more distance on foot than any other soldier with more gear and often need to stalk for some distance which is very energy intensive the most important factor for a sniper rifle ,given all other things are equal , is weight, so would take Voere X3 over DT HTI
Desert tactical HTI is about 1kg heavier as its a 50BMG-sized action, while Voere X3 is sized so that Cheytac is maximum it will take .
Cheytac magazine for Desert Tech HTI , HTI action is sized to handle 50BMG

X4 is a kilogram heavier than X3 , X4 looks like a full-sized 50Bmg action , will check on IWA if its any smaller than X5 , i dont see much difference in receiver size between x4 and x5

Bigger, heavier receivers last longer, and suck more heat away from the barrel. That's official Elbonian design doctrine.

Did you manage to have a look?

Voere was not present on the IWA this year, only a small showing of the new Victor Ram700 footprint action at Hera arms booth. All in all post-pandemic IWA was missing many regular exhibitors. Was probably the first time i could have done a single-day visit. But of course, still a lot of walking around My phone step counter put me at 18km covered on IWA floor on day one.
