The C14 Timberwolf MRSWS is a bolt-action sniper rifle made by the Canadian manufacturer PGW Defence Technologies, firing the .338 Lapua Magnum cartridge. It was selected in 2005 to replace the older C3A1 rifle in Canadian Forces service under a contract worth 4.5 million dollars, and has since also been adopted by military forces in the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and Ukraine.
