The gunman was named by the newspaper as Shakhvelad Osmanov, a 24-year-old Tajik national. His sniper rifle was said to be foreign-made and to have optical lenses, it said.
It would be interesting to see if anyone has ever made a sniper rifle with non-optical lenses.

Yes, I’ve seen several Hollywood productions with “sniper rifles” with no sights whatsoever.
