Labeled - Ishapore sniper MK I with NVD and Day scope



Looks like the .338 Lapua sniper rifle shown at the def expo.




More 7.62x51 OFB sniper rifle


7.62x51 OFB sniper rifle with different furniture than what we've seen those far.
Dont know whats their obsession with orange furniture 🤦‍♀️.If they think giving black finish is not cool why couldn't they just give green or desert atleast😬

this actually not bad, the new stock looks good, looking at the compactness, it might be good for law enforcement purposes.

things like that dont matter, a sniper will paint his rifle anyways. For once it does not look bad at all.

IMHO that sniper rifle was prepared according to the specification of the Indian Army's stalled 800m range sniper rifle RFI. Similarly insas was also prepared on the same line.

The background talk in the video indicates that rifle was tested out to 800m. This is broadly limit of 7.62x51 round & thereafter more powerful rounds are required.

In Civilian situations the average shooting by Sniper is around 100m. And 300m is the outside. Beyond 500m, no sniper will shoot in civilian situations

Only in military situations, we require ranges longer than 500m, for which OFB & SSS is offering 0.338 which is good upto 1500m.

I wonder if OFB & SSS intend to offer new 0.50 inch sniper rifle also ( considering that Vidhwansk is too heavy) ?

Ishapore Assault Rifle 7.62mm has successfully cleared the evaluation trials with flying colours. Trials conducted by Ministry of Home Affairs for its Armed Forces. Accuracy: 9 out of 10 on bulls eye! Reliability: more than 15000 rounds without stopage! Unbeatable! Salaam OFB.
