Full Description:

The Scharfschütze 7.62 is a bolt-action rifle using the old-school Mosin-Nagant rifle. While not exactly a new idea, this rifle combines aspects of the original models of Mosin-Nagant with some modern-age technology to make a new experience for the average shooter. The main points of interest are the adjustable points on the stock for the cheek rest and shoulder pad, the stock and grip combination overall, and the use of picatinny rail for use with modern optics. Unlike most custom Mosin-Nagant chassis, this still uses an integrated magazine for its feed system, though the folks at SteelWERK make models that can accept detachable magazines used in other chassis. This gives an option for the consumer depending on what they would prefer. Overall, this rifle does its job well enough.
