Putin was seen picking off targets at a distance of 600 meters (656 yards) with the new weapons manufacturer's new super rifle.

According to Russia Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited an exhibition of the Kalashnikov Concern weapons creator in Patriot Park outside Moscow on Wednesday. Putin didn't just inspect the military hardware and eyeball the new goods. Russia's president got up-close and personal with a modern SVCh (Chukavin Sniper Rifle).

The SVCh was initially called SVK. Recently, Kalashnikov has renamed the rifle to include the designer's last name (Chukavin) into the designation of this firearm and revealed more details. Now the rifle is called Chukavin Sniper Rifle or SVCh (??????????? ???????? ???????? – ???) wrote the Firearm Blog.
