Hi everyone,

Republic Arms Ltd, an exclusive official dealer of Kalashnikov Group in New Zealand, offers firearms for hunting and sport, based on the legendary Kalashnikov assault rifle. We offer sales direct to the public at very competitive prices. Republic Arms Ltd also provides support and service/maintenance for Kalashnikov Group products.

Today we'd like to present you Tigr rifle, a civilian version of a world-known semi-automatic sniper rifle - Dragunov SVD, which was developed in 1963 as the main sniper rifle for Soviet army and been in service ever since, used by more than 35 countries. It is an excellent hunting weapon with excellent reputation for reliability and durability.

Tigr is a semi-auto (versions with manual reload also available) rifle with a short-stroke gas-piston system. It has a manual, two-position gas regulator and is extremely reliable in all conditions. The rifle's receiver is milled to provide additional accuracy and torsional strength. It bears a number of similarities to the AK receiver, such as the large dust cover, iron sights and lever safety selector, but these similarities are primarily cosmetic in nature. The rifle is fed from a detachable double-stack box magazine.

The bore is chrome-lined to increase corrosion resistance, and features 4 right-hand grooves.
The rifle features adjustable iron sights and scope mount on the left side of the receiver. It has a polymer handguard and a skeletonized polymer thumbhole stock equipped with a detachable cheek rest.
