MTs-116M

The MTs-116M is a Russian bolt-action sniper rifle. The weapon system was developed By the Central Design Bureau for Sporting and Hunting Arms (TsKIB SOO) based in Tula. Based on a successful single-shot sporting match rifle, it was developed to serve as a modern precision rifle for law enforcement use. The need for such a rifle arose following the realization that the standard military sniper rifle, the Dragunov SVD, did not meet the required qualifications.
