this is a about a recent weapons manufacturer "tsar cannon" producing sniper rifle's and rifle's for competition
would love to hear what the QP's think about it compared to the dragunov.
First, a custom bolt action rifle made anywhere is pretty different from a standard issued Dragunov.
Second, lots of claims in the video which I have my doubts on.
Third, nice going in the end, sitting in front of the muzzle with no ear protection, say hi to tinnitus..

Gotta wonder what message they are sending when the ONLY shot filmed at impact (1:06) is high to the left by a very large margin..

yep, izhmash makes world class biathlon bolt rifle. Of course, that is .22 and the same technology/tight tolerance may or may not transfer to high power. Well, there's the SV-98.

Russia's most entertaining contribution to popularizing firearms.

If used as a DMR the Dragunov is perfectly adequate; if used in the precision fire role, just about anything else is an improvement. As Frostfire notes - the Russians produce some quality .22s. I'm sure the high power bolt guns are at least as good; after all, the Russians are serious competitors whenever they play.
