The C14 Timberwolf is a Canadian-made long-range sniper weapon system (LRSW) chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum, developed by PGW Defence Technologies for the Canadian Armed Forces. Adopted in 2005 to replace the aging C3A1 (Parker-Hale M82) in the long-range role, the Timberwolf provides Canadian snipers with the ability to engage targets at ranges exceeding 1,500 meters. The rifle saw extensive combat use in Afghanistan with Canadian forces.
