The Lobaev sniper rifle is a rifle line of custom-built bolt-action sniper rifles manufactured at the now defunct small, private company named "Tsar-Cannon Ltd" (ООО Царь-Пушка), which produced benchrest equipment and long-range, sniper and mountain hunting rifles in Tarusa, Russia. The Lobaev rifles are based on a single-shot bolt-action designed for benchrest shooting by Vladislav Lobaev. The chambering, barrel, stock, ammunition feeding method and other rifle characteristics are determined by the clients' preferences. With an accuracy of 0.3-0.2 MOA, the Lobaev SVL is claimed as the most accurate sniper rifle in the world.[1]

Variants

Lobaev rifles are offered in two main variants. The first variant is the SVL, СВЛ - Снайперская винтовка Лобаева (Lobaev sniper rifle). The SVL variant has a field quick barrel change feature and the top of the receiver features a Picatinny rail to mount aiming optics. Lobaev SVL sniper rifles are factory guaranteed to have 0.3 MOA accuracy with specific ammunition.[1] With a typical accuracy potential of sub-0.2 MOA at ranges exceeding 2,000 meters,[2] the Lobaev company claims it builds the most accurate long-range sniper rifle in the world.[3][4]

The second variant is the OVL, ОВЛ - Охотничья винтовка Лобаева (Lobaev hunting rifle). The OVL variant is used among hunters and sportsmen like benchrest shooters, etc.
