In the Russian Federation created the most long-range rifle in the world

A sniper rifle has been created in Russia, breaking the world record for range and accuracy of hitting a target, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

The rifle SVLC-14S "Dusk" struck at a distance of 4178 meters. Tests were held at the site in the Kaluga region. Weapon developed by designer Vladislav Lobayev.

According to the information, in order to break the world record in 4157 meters, installed with the help of an American-made M-300 rifle, Russian engineers had to upgrade the “Dusk” and change the cartridge.

“The new model has a reinforced multilayer sandwich made of carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass, and is specifically designed to be used with such powerful ammunition as Cheytac. Also, for greater reinforcement of the design, a long aluminum chassis is integrated into the box, ”the message says.

The upgrade allowed to disperse a bullet weighing 30 grams to an initial speed of 1100 meters per second. To stop on the reached result designers from Tarusa do not intend.

In the coming days we plan to improve our own record and set it at the level of 4200 meters,

said Lobayev.

It is reported that the SVLC-14 “Dusk” rifle is designed for ultra-long-range shooting. The model with which it was possible to set a record, while exclusive. Its cost was about 2-million rubles.

and what the author did not report about the cartridge? CheyTac - is it clear, but more specifically? .408 CheyTac or .375 CheyTac? .... after all, for a sniper rifle, all the more so unique, the cartridge is the first and most important part of the systems ....

In my opinion, an Azerbaijani sniper rifle with a caliber of 14,5 mm is cooler than this. There are a lot of forum users from this sunny country on the site. They will not let me lie. Hey, where are you, Lonely, Bookman, Omar and others. Tell us about your rifle " Istigl "14.5-mm, otherwise I’m advertising the product of the Azerbaijani military-industrial complex alone!

let's compare
In an explanation from the APA, Defense Industry Minister Yavar Jamalov said that Istiglal is the first national weapon of Azerbaijan: “The study showed that this weapon has no equivalent. In South Africa, there is a weapon resembling "Istiglal", but its firing range is 2 thousands of meters. However, IST 14.5 has the ability to hit targets at a distance of 2500 meters. ”

Very ... here is a video of the 3400 m hit record ... though the rifle is modified to this record. The serial Dusk has a working range of up to 2500 m, although it can work at 3000 m quietly.

Well done boys. Seriously taken. If only our bureaucrats did not sway, buy for specialists.

Have you read the article to the end?
If so, for you -

It is reported that the SVLK-14C "Twilight" rifle is designed for ultra-long range shooting. The model with which it was possible to set a record is still exclusive.

While exclusive, then in a series. Am I misunderstanding something?

The Bentley Army is not needed.

[Berber]

Needed, but not massively. Only for specialists. The only thing is that the effective range will not be that way. I think about 2 km.

[Black_Vatnik]

the word "Exclusive" means that they did it specifically for the record and most likely for a large amount of money. In the world of such exclusive technologies, a wagon and a small cart.

Ummm ... last time Lobaev got burned at this very transition. While there were single handmade rifles, there were no complaints. As soon as the small series started, they immediately started complaining about rasp marks on surfaces that were supposed to be absolutely smooth.

Thank. Interestingly, and what accuracy at maximum range?

[inkass_98]

It seems that already on 4210 m. They fired from it. So they keep the word, the bar of record is moving further and further.

That's right ... only at 4170 m

Russian ultra-long-range rifle SVLK-14C "Twilight" broke the world record for firing range. It is reported that the previous record belonged to American weapons.

Russian gunsmiths obeyed a new record for the range of fire from a sniper rifle (4170 meters). For this, the upgraded rifle SVLK-14C "Sumrak" of the company Lobaev Arms was used. It is reported by RIA Novosti.

According to the designer Vladislav Lobaev, the developers had to upgrade the weapon and change the cartridge.

«This allowed to disperse a bullet weighing 30 grams to an initial speed of 1000 meters per second. As a result, it helped to break the previous record, which belonged to the Americans, in firing range. The Americans had 4157 meters, ours - 4170 meters", Said Vladislav Lobaev.

[killganoff]

You look at this record completely, falling at the level of randomness. Of the dozens of shots, only one hit the target "exactly at the heels", in the presence of other hits in the "milk" ... Doubtful accuracy.

[Berber]

The main record is fixed.

[Fedalex]

"The SVLK-14C rifle" Twilight "hit a distance of 4178 meters" - who was struck by what and how? I don’t know how she, the rifle, struck me, but I was struck by the unprofessionalism of VO editors! The unprofessionalism of VO, struck me - with 70000 kilometers! IN - recruit competent staff ...

[Shurale]

They, like Kalashnikov, copied it from the Americans, also the barrel in front, the butt in the back and the sight at the top ...

[Berber]

Is it your humor?

[sharp-lad]

He is serious!

[Engineer]

The model with which it was possible to set a record is still exclusive.

This will remain. This rifle is for records only and is intended. Non-special forces have no practical use. In terms of manpower, you won’t shoot from such a distance - the bullet’s flight will be too long, and the influence of external factors on the bullet’s deflection in flight will be significant. There is no sighting in any way. And who will let you shoot in a combat situation? But the ability of the company to produce trunks of this quality, albeit on imported equipment, is still amazing. No wonder their sheikhs warmed in due time.

[Nashensky city]

Lobaev can be thanked for returning from the Emirates and working at home, although it would be easier in the states

[Egorovich]

Well done Lobaev !!! Once again, the mattresses were lowered to the ground.

[Elephant]

Is there a holder for cartridges in our vaunted rifle SVLK-14C ???

[Galleon]

Specify: you will be satisfied with the store for 30 rounds, or only 45? Why do weapons with a single-shot shot? Why long-range sniper automatic shooting? Make "adjustments" to the trajectory of the bullet by moving parts at the time of the shot?

[verner1967]

Quote: Galleon

Why long-range sniper automatic shooting?

Is it really about automation? I was only thinking about multi-charge.

[Galleon]

If we are only talking about multi-charge, then the difference is not significant - just that a multi-charge rifle will be a little heavier. Let us recall the story of anti-tank rifles in the Second World War: both five-shot and single-shot tanks stood and were armed with weapons.

[verner1967]

Quote: Galleon

the difference is not significant

significant, and the comparison with the PTR is not correct here, although the PTR is also better with the store.

[MoJloT]

It is not correct to compare a unique product whose task is to make 1 shot at a distance equipped with an imported cartridge and a standard army rifle.

[verner1967]

Quote: MoJloT

whose task is to make 1 shot at a distance

Here recently it was written about the farthest practical sniper shot, so it was made after the shooting, the second time, the observer helped the shooter. So the shot will not be the only one

[Vladimir]

Any barrel serves to realize the ability of the cartridge, therefore the cartridge itself is interesting, the possibility of a bullet at such a distance.

[Old26]

.408 CheyTac

Quote: BerBer

While exclusive, then in a series. Am I misunderstanding something?

A 2 million series rifle? I'm afraid that the maximum that will be is a small series of a dozen or two samples. Large will not be unambiguous. And if again there will be no collision with the company

[Berber]

The price is probably overpriced due to exclusivity. That is why, probably, the series will not be.

[Deck]

I have questions about the practical use of the rifle at this distance.
- definition and recognition of the purpose.
-Mirazh, working hours 1-2 hours after sunrise and maybe before sunset, or cold autumn without rain and sun.
- determination of firing range, wind at such distances (an error in determining wind speed between 3 and 4 km will give lateral drift of about 5 meters)

FSO procured! They do not mind!

How to understand: "reinforced sandwich made of carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass"?

How to understand: "reinforced sandwich made of carbon fiber, Kevlar and fiberglass"?

A composite is made - a layer of coal, then a layer of fiberglass. Then a layer of coal with Kevlar, etc., until the desired thickness is set. Before laying the layers, they are impregnated with a binder-epoxy or polyester resin, the layers are usually transferred from different angles, then under a vacuum press and in the oven.

[Operator]

I didn’t understand - but is the barrel channel through which the bullet moves made of carbon fiber, fiberglass or Kevlar?

We are talking about the bed, it is important to have a very tough one there. Carbon composite fits well - hard and light.

Thank you for the information - you just don’t understand what element of the rifle we are talking about in the text of the article.

[HEATHER]

The SVLK-14C rifle "Twilight" hit a distance of 4178 meters. A solid. 40x sight! This is a telescope.

[16112014nk]

“Dusk” set a new record. Hit a target measuring 1m x 1m from a distance of 4m.

Very happy for the Tarusian fellow countrymen !!!

[APASUS]

The news, although good, but by all logic, the next statement should be the statement of our MO.
The Ministry of Defense of Russia buys 1000 SVLK-14S Sumrak rifles for its needs, but there is no such statement. Armory traditions, this is very good, but how does the state help its manufacturers?

This class of rifle is an image theme, such as promotion. Advertising is very important - a vivid example of the work of our VKS in Syria and how sales have soared. Lobaev seems to be receiving orders from the government — it is the state security snipers who are armed with his weapons.

[FRoman1984]

Lobaev Arms - gamno rare.
There is not a single Lobaev rifle either among special forces or among high-precision athletes. None. All work with Sako, Accuracy, Orsis, Tikka, Remington, Manlicher. The first and last shooter refused to “loba” after the shutter failed at competitions in Hungary 2017.
The other day, two amateur shooters from Kazan returned both rifles to the manufacturer through a court. DXL-2. Money back.
Nobody needs all these "records" in FIG, except for Lobaev himself. PR. And God forbid, this gamut will fall into the Russian Ministry of Defense. There is no practical value to shoot at 4 km - pure lottery. Less can be predictable up to 2 km, which canadians and British in Afghanistan prove.
MTR of Russia in Syria work with Manlihera SSG-08, work well. And the sights of Schmidt $ Bender. And God help the officers! With normal, working rifles.

Pancake! Thoughts agreed))) I wrote my comment below without reading yours)))

[raw174]

As a means of achieving a record - YES, as a development of technologies, also YES, but as a combat complex - a question for me personally ...
In a combat situation, such a range is not needed at all, I think everyone will agree with this (I'm talking about infantry). It is clear that long-range trucking is for specialists, but 4 km with a hook is too much! Shooting at such a distance cannot guarantee a 100% hit on the target, too many factors affect the bullet in flight, it is better to increase the accuracy of shooting to 2 km ...
