What are the differences between an M200 and a SRR-61?

Seems like it's just the name.

Here's a link to the Wiki for The Intervention, also with a reference to SRR-61 below in the "users" sections (even though a quote is missing): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CheyTac_Intervention#Users

You are correct. There is no such sniper rifle called SRR-61. I'm assuming BF4 did not get the rights to use the name/designation M200 Intervention. Apparently no one else seems to have a better answer than to use stupid Battlefield-pedias as a reference.

According to IGN, "The SRR-61 is a US made Sniper Rifle. The real life counterpart is the CheyTac M200 Intervention. It fires the .408 CT cartridge." (This is only partially true, because the M200 can also fire the .375 cartridge.)

This would indicate that the name was made up for BF4. However, the CheyTac M200 Intervention is also the same rifle used by the 61st Special Reconaissance Regiment in Jordan (hence the SRR-61 designation).

The first quote is per IGN, the second quote is per CheyTac. Whether EA couldn't get the rights to use M200 or CheyTac or just wanted to use something more original since CoD used it, it is a moot point. It's really no different than why they called one rifle "FY-JS" instead of "CS/LR3" or "JS 7.62", which are the real names for that rifle. I'm sure there are other guns in the game that are mislabeled, not just these two.

Just my two cents, without quoting "stupid Battlefield-pedias as reference".

The SRR-61 is a Jordanian regiment that uses the M200 Invervention.
