[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Russian Made SV-99 .22LR Sniper Rifle

Posted: 10/31/2004 6:54:26 PM EDT

Does anyone have any information on availability of these rifles? I know they're built by the IZHMASH company in Russia; however I cannot find anything on them, except for an excerpt on this website: club.guns.ru/eng/sv99.html

In all honesty, I don't know much about them....but am investigating the opportunity of using a .22LR for short range sniper work (squirrels, etc), and this Russian sniper rifle caught my eye. If anyone has any information on them, it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if this belongs here, but I didn't know where else to post this.

Thanks!
Max

Thanks...but I have a Marlin 995 which is the first gun my dad gave me back about 20 years ago. I also have a Browning BL-22 (lever action) and I love to go shooting it....but I'm looking for something a bit different than a "plinker".

I'm looking for information specifically on this SV-99, or any other tacitcal type 22LR rifles.

Thanks!
Max

EDIT: I don't mean to claim that a 10/22 cannot be heavily modified into a really nice 22LR....I just don't want one. Thought I should clarify that before I get

the short range russian sniping rifle is very accurate and is based on the reknown biathlon crank-bolt action available on the $300 ihzmash built "biathlon basic" model.

the folding stock is custom made for the sv99 and appears to use the ak74 style foldling/locking mechanism.

the bbl. is hammer forged over a mendrel.

i'm currently looking forward to building a clone based off the biathlon basic model.

Same action don't know where to find the sniper stock though, also check out the regular biatholon with its cool iron sights.

All your for <$400

WOW....Thanks gents.

So, the Biathlon Basic is the same gun (minus stock & supressor).....any idea on where to obtain the stock? I really like how that action works.

That is an interesting gun....just might have to give it a try. CampyBob, if you find anything on the stocks, please let me know.

Thanks!

That E.A.A. Biathlon action is FAST and slick........build your own from an E.A.A. rifle.

SWEET rifle. I know that CDNN had the EAA Biathalon rifles at a good price; they might still have some of them.
