I have already searched everywhere more info on it, on every site and forum, some marks are unlisted everywhere ans unknow. Also the structure of receiver seem look line a sniper rifle with round high wall receiver. No holes inside the receiver, its not a reconverted sniper rifle.

I think it's a refurb sold through Germany. I think Centerbe is in Italy.

Yes im in Italy, i omissed 2 group of marks (because already identified), one on the left its proof of the (modern) german bench fire test , the second on the right (cat 2330) its the italian (modern) fire test proofmarks. My question was only about original russian proof on it. A double O O on left side under the stock. The large C on top between serial and year, the small (c) circled) on receiver, 2 small (m) and an unknow marks on right side of sovietic logo (unknow). Some strange tombstone marks at right side near the other double (O) russian proof.

The double 00 and concentric circles are Accuracy proof marks. The rest are, unknown.

But concentric circles does not substitute the double 00? why here there are both of them?

Being produced by overworked people that were vodka powered and too many stamps laying around at Izhevsk, you get days of drunks wandering around with stamps in hand.

This is the coolest explanation I've ever read XD
The large C in the middle between year and serial its caused by other vodka?
