Sniper rifle Lobaeva: characteristics, reviews, price, photo

Vyacheslav Lobaev is a talented person who designed the famous sniper rifle of the same name. He is a participant and winner of many high-precision shooting competitions, coach. Participates in the judging of many shooting competitions among army riflemen and various power structures. Restrained, serious and laconic. You might think that he works in some non-departmental structures.

Even as a young guy, he participated in many championships, including the world scale. On them Lobaev faced serious problems: the weapons issued at the competitions did not differ in the accuracy of the hit in the goal. Vyacheslav, wishing to solve these problems, decided to design his own sniper rifle.

Tsar-Pushka by Lobaeva

Vyacheslav Lobaev was trained by masters of weapons in the US, with celebrities such as Clay Spencer and Speedy Gonzalez. He learned a lot from these lessons. All the knowledge was subsequently tested by the famous designer in practice.

Returning to his homeland, he first took up the registration of a license to manufacture weapons. The theoretical part of the work was already ready, because while simultaneously studying with specialists abroad, he designed his dream on paper in drawings.

Having received all the basic documents, Lobaev was finally able to open his own enterprise and called it "Tsar-Cannon". Of course, all equipment was bought abroad. It would seem that the main details for weapons would be worth buying from foreign manufacturers, but this was not to the liking of the designer. He wanted to make each pin himself, without buying anything from foreign neighbors. And he reached this goal to the fullest.

Lobaev's sniper rifle

There is an opinion that ammunition is the main component of this rifle, and it is its quality that affects the accuracy of hitting the target. The famous designer and winner of many championships did not think so. Cartridges as such do not occupy the last place in accuracy of hitting the target at long distances, but the rifle plays a huge role in this.

Foreign manufacturers are of the opinion that weapons should be "sharpened" for ammunition, since they believe that there is no need to produce an accurate weapon when cartridges do not meet the required characteristics. Our designer solved this problem: he produces weapons "with a margin" in accuracy, which helps increase the probability of hitting the target. According to reviews of athletes who used his rifles, hit the target is simply guaranteed.

Scope of SWL

The base of the rifle - the receiver - was designed in a very original way. The shutter mechanism with a rotary valve has three stops in the front part. Lightweight aluminum alloy is the basis for the manufacture of the receiver. A liner is made of stainless steel, in which the barrel is fixed. The replacement of high-precision trunks is another "feature" of Lobaev's rifles. The muzzle brake is mounted on the rifle barrel, and the customer can adjust the trigger mechanism himself.

The standard rifle is single-shot, "Tsar-Cannon" also modified the weapon and made a five-charge magazine.

Range of fire

Sniper rifle caliber 408 allows you to hit the target at a distance of 2500-3000 meters (depends on the combat configuration). SVL caliber 338 is able to get into the growth target from 1600-2000 meters. Individual order and customer requirements for the rifle determine its parameters: barrel length, caliber, power system and much more.

The most accurate rifle in Russia

The Lobaev's sniper rifle remains the most accurate in Russia and has perfectly proven itself abroad. It rightfully occupies the highest pedestal among other targeting weapons. Lobaev's sniper rifle was produced in the small town of Tarusa, a couple of hours' drive from Moscow, at the Tsar-Pushka enterprise, which successfully established the production of these weapons. This is not a state, but a private enterprise, which in itself is nonsense, and yet it flourished, and the goods enjoyed great success.

Sniper rifle Lobaeva, as they say, piece goods. It is made taking into account the individual requirements of its customer. The accuracy of hit of this weapon is 0.2-0.3 MOA. Rifle Lobaeva (rumored) is used even in the defense of the Russian president.

Rifle Release Options

Sniper rifle Lobaeva (SVL) has two types:

• Sniper rifle for special forces (SWL);
• Hunting rifle Lobaeva (OVL), is intended for civil use (for hunting and for sports shooting).

The possibility of using "non-standard" cartridges significantly increases the interest in Lobaev's sniper rifle. At the same time, the accuracy of hit does not decrease: a guaranteed one hundred percent hit to the target - up to 2200 m. The list of weapons produced at the Lobaev enterprise is quite wide, so there is a suitable option for both amateur hunters and special forces. But, deciding to purchase this exclusive weapon, it should be remembered that the hunting rifle Lobaeva (the price of which reaches half a million rubles) - the pleasure is not cheap.

It's a pity, but ...

In 2010, Vyacheslav Lobayev was denied a license to manufacture sniper rifles. It is rumored that this is the work of IzhMash, a competitor of Tsar-Cannon, who decided to get rid of the threat of competition in such a simple way. Although the Tsar Cannon was not their main competitor. After all, the company produced rifles of different directions and modifications (SVL and OVL), which were absolutely unique, and therefore very expensive. The company "IzhMash", in turn, produced weapons for the army. But what happened happened.

Vyacheslav Lobaev refrained from commenting on the situation. Soon the company "Tsar Cannon" moved to the United Arab Emirates, where it successfully continued the production of famous weapons. Lobaev signed a mutually beneficial contract with a well-known firm and soon opened the firm Tawazun Advanced Defense Systems. She is engaged in the production of the same rifles, but only under a different name - TADS KS-11. In parallel, the company is engaged in the training of fighters, as well as scientific developments in long-range high-precision shooting.

The weapon from Lobaev is high-performance, allowing to reach the target at unimaginable distances, and is oriented more towards professionals than amateurs.
