0

Russia, the cradle of famous weapons, recently continued to launch the SVLK-14S super long-range sniper rifle. With the ability to destroy targets from a distance of 3,000 meters, this is considered a nightmare for enemy shock soldiers.

The SVLK-14S is one of the world’s leading sniper rifles when it comes to high accuracy and long range. It is known that the SVLK-14S is a sniper rifle model made by Russian weapons designer Vladislav Lobaev, and also the owner of the Lobaev Arms weapons company. According to information announced by Lobaev Arms, the SVLK-14S was developed based on the CheyTac USA M300 sniper rifle model with some changes in caliber and magazine design. Specifically, Lobaev Arms has optimized the USA M300 to make it more Russian and more reliable on the battlefield along with improving the gun’s specifications. Increased range and increased accuracy are the points that Lobaev Arms has been doing very well on SVLK-14S compared to USA M300. A special feature is that the design of the SVLK-14S is quite simple compared to a modern sniper rifle model, Except that the components that make it up are made of aircraft-grade alloy, the gun is quite light compared to its size. The biggest difference of the SVLK-14S sniper rifle with other sniper rifles is that it uses standard ammunition .408 Cheyenne Tactical (10.36×77mm) or separate .338LM for sniper rifles, Lobaev Arms said that using these calibers will make the gun more stable than using 12.7mm bullets and have a longer range than 7.62mm bullets of both Russia and NATO. In order to increase accuracy, the SVLK-14S does not use a magazine, but fires each bullet with a manual loading mechanism that loads by pulling the reloading shuttle. With fewer parts, the accuracy of the gun increases. SVLK-14S has an overall length of 1,430mm, a wheelbase of 900mm and a width of 96mm, the maximum weight of the gun is 9.6kg excluding scopes or extended shooting aids. Right on the body of the gun in the SVLK-14S barrel cluster, there is a built-in pincatinny rail that allows quick replacement of sights. The SVLK-14S usually uses the IOR Valdada 5.8-40×56 optical sight, allowing the gunner to shoot effectively at ranges from 500 meters to 2,000 meters, The maximum range of the SVLK-14S in the test can reach a range of more than 4,000 meters, the manufacturer says that the SVLK-14S gun can destroy targets at a distance of 3,000 meters. The muzzle velocity of the SVLK-14S is up to 900m/s with extremely low deviation at a range of 1,500m or less. The SVLK-14S is more about stability in each shot than fast rate of fire, and its extremely long range also helps protect the gunner from enemies. SVLK-14S can operate in environments from -45 degrees Celsius to 65 degrees Celsius. Due to the mechanism to fire each bullet, the average rate of fire of the SVLK-14S is about 6 rounds per minute for a professional gunner. SVLK-14S with natural black carbon fiber body and barrel made of aluminum alloy. The cost of each SVLK-14S on the market is estimated at more than $ 34,000 excluding the IOR Valdada viewfinder.
