I definitely like it. I had this old 4X40 Tasco laying around and that's all it needs for these whitetails around here. The scope is in your vision when you raise the gun. I Sighted in with 7.62 NATO. It was shooting .308 Win. high and right . The barrel has both calibers printed on it. The stock is I'm guessing Arctic birch ? It feels very solid/strong but the checkering is sort of like somebodys 1st attempt . It'll look better in a hundred years or so. What type do you call that bolt ???

Pretty cool gun. What is it? Scope offset reminds me of scoped Swiss guns...

The best I can tell, it's a Tula T 03. Made in Tula Russia.

The bolt handle looks like a Mannlicher–Schönauer spoon handle bolt. How does that thing shoot? I really like it. I like odd rifles like this.

Shooting across the truck hood, 85 yd. with a 4 power I shot a 3 inch group. I'll get some targets pics when I get to a bench rest with it.

Update on this Russian boar. It's says either/ or on the rifle, but shooting .308 Win thru it, it will put two rounds close together, then throw one high and right 4-5 inches. Is the .308 the slightly smaller case of the two ? If so could it be letting gas back around the case neck and fluctuating the pressure enough to do that. IN a 7.62x 51 case with Sierra mactch king 168 gr. it will group 3 in one inch. I've upgraded to a Weaver 3x9. Ive shot two deer with it, and 100 rounds or so at the range. It's still stiff but breaking in, it's a very strong bolt action and the rifling in the bore is righteous.
