And how much special instruction was he given first? Am I the only one who remembers the footage of him flinching and closing his eyes while shooting a pistol? Im sure he had a number of areas of advanced specialization in the KGB, small arms specialist wasnt one of them.

The link photo looks like an indoor range.
I’m thinking a maximum of 100 yds with no cross wind.

A hundred yard indoor range? That’d be something. I’m thinking a shooter’s bench since the target was shown to be outside.

It's made by Kalashnikov, but it's not an AK. Not an original idea amongst them is there?

Chukavin SVCh-308. In typical soviet fashion, comes in 7.62x54R and 7.62 NATO. Nothing remotely similar to anything Stoner ever designed.
Interesting that they chose to put the charging handle on the left side of a sniper’s weapon.
