Not mine.......wish it was though
It's a Vostok biathlon rifle. Kinda looks like a Mosin action, but its not. Very accurate competition rifle. Not much information out there on the cartridge or the rifles in English, but performance of the cartridge would be impressive. I'd love to build a rifle in this caliber just to play with.... The Soviets tested a heavy barrel SVD in this caliber, would have made a great sniper rifle cartridge. |
