[aditya g]

Few more ...

2. SVD

3. Rare pic of Mauser SP66 in IA

4. Another one:

5. INSAS Sniper with Garuds(!)

6. Sniper and spotter

7. With spotter in LoC bunker

Its 1B1 with laser pointer for training purposes, Galatz is gud option but offer not much a edge ..

SVD is primary marksman rifle in Indian Army, No replacement of it anytime soon ..

Sniper with INSAS and laser pointer?

Is Sniper Galatz effectively an alternate for SVD? Pros/Cons of both

@Kunal Biswas @Bornubus
Is there any plan to replace Dragunov ?What rifle is used for long range precision shooting by IA?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

IMHO, It should be upgraded with P-rail and must put to use ..

SLR was used and still under use by snipers of ITBP ..

Can older 303s or SLRs be used in sniper role?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Ishapore 2A1 rifle is very gud option for sniper use, We are reinventing the wheel here which is not really necessary ..

One question .......
Watch that last image of dragunov inside bunker at LOC .
It looks like , when the round will be fired the cocking handle will be restricted with that scope holder , ejection and cocking both are not looking possible !!!

Can someone tell me what is that ?? And how it will work ??

It's not the scope holder. It's the front cover for the sight.

 

[Bornubus]

What rifle is used for long range precision shooting by IA?

Danel AMR and Galil Galatz . Dragunov is not effective beyond 600 - 800 mts and counter sniping tactics.


Infantry lacks dedicated and lightweight Sniper.

 

[Indx TechStyle]

Is there any pic/ info available on the DRDO/OFB 7.62x51mm Sniper Rifle ??

OFB bolt action rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm prototype

 

[Bornubus]

That's a hideous looking design with no disrespect to OFB

SVD is a good marksman rifle,but now better rifles are available in the market.So ,I think it's about time Indian army goes for a new marksman rifle.I would prefer a good foreign rifle, made in India through Joint venture with a Indian private company.

Two rifles of my choice:

1 Kalashnikov SVK;

2.SIG716 Gen2 DMR

Ishapore 2A1 rifle is very gud option for sniper use, We are reinventing the wheel here which is not really necessary ..

Now I was always in support of using Ishapore 2A1 for sniping purpose. If chambered for Winchester 300, it would be a great rifle for 1000m mark. All you need to work upon is its ergonomics. BTW, what is this another rifle? The gun got looks.......

It's a sniper rifle ,not marksman rifle.

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Its a Ishapore 2A1 rifle, modified by user ..

That design is not so hideous when one holds it, I felt its better balance than SVD ..

But looks heavier than SVD ?


Any specs

Now look how a little imagination could turn a 100 year old platform into a chic modern design. That's what I always emphasis on. Instead of designing new items each and every time, we should learn to capitalize on our proven system.
Gine that user a award for his thinking and approach...........

Heavier the better ..

SLR with CRPF Cobra. Potentially sniper role?

IMHO, It should be upgraded with P-rail and must put to use ..

SLR was used and still under use by snipers of ITBP ..

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Its perhaps only for posing with it ..
