“Tsar Cannon”, the creators of cutting-edge sniper rifles, has the only factory in Russia that custom makes rifles for the secret service to protect both Russia’s president and prime minister.
It comes as no surprize to hear that some of the world's best rifles are being made in Russia. Russian firearms have always been excellent. My best wishes to Tsar-Cannon for a successful future.
I've used one on several occasions. They are nothing special and are consistantly out shot by several other manufacturers weapons
Can the company make a .416 rifle at a better price than the ones here in the U.S? It doesn't have much drop because the bullet is handmade on a lathe. I would think the rifle and the rounds would be cheaper and would give the .50 cal a run for its money. The range on the one I read about here has a range of 2500 meters.
Hi: Do you have a web site to look at your products? Thanks Scott Hannah
Nice rifles, I once owned a AK 47 and liked it very much.
a modest tsar-car would be more interesting.
I would rather have an RPG. Snipers are irrelevant except in policing situations.
Is there a website for Tsar - Cannon ?
The demand for eastern European and Russian weapons here in the US is overwhelming. I'd import them myself if offered the opportunity. Unfortunately and thanks to our absolutely SENSELESS import restrictions, many weapons are impossible to own. Case in point: we can't even get Russian Tigers, let alone SVD's. Yet you can purchase as many Barrett's as you can afford. Go figure. To add insult to injury, our government requires perfectly good and often extremely well-made components such as receivers be destroyed and replaced by US components before they are sold in compliance with our politically-motivated laws. There is no rational explanation, nor should anyone expect to get one. And don't hold your breath if you're interested in owning a weapon from Tsar Cannon.
Great, if you have a competitive legal product then put on the free market and let it compete. A website wouldn't hurt, I for one would like to know more about your products.
I wonder if the U S Secret Service could use some these custom firearms?
Very impressive!!! These weapons are the ... definition of "deadly"!!!
Looks like a copy of existing weaponry that is readily avialible here in the USA.. Stocks, are McMillian and Shehane clones, Actions look like custom actions that we have been using for years. Highest degree of accuracy comes from the shooter. Training, being familiar with your weapon. A pretty rifle is just that...pretty.
I got 2 shotguns and a nice rifle from Baikal back a few years ago..Great shooters at an affordable price. Very reliable. Russian's know how to build a gun in my opinion.
The more weapons choices the merrier! I certainly hope that you can market your wares in the US! I am not in the market for a sniper rifle personally, but many individuals and organizations are. Russians changed the world of military weapons with the AK: No one can deny their talent for making rifles.
Russian rifle with American "Butler Creek" lens covers- another example of Russian ingenuity : )))) Seriously, the Chernobyl fall-out in that steel is only half as radioactive as it was- half life- you know.
the name alone speaks for itsself,,, ship em
Iam tired of people, especially Americans, saying how Russians "copy" American military hardware. Don't even get me going on how much technology the US stole from Germany after WW2. ..........Ever hear of something called the jet engine?...how 'bout a rocket? ALL CREATED BY GERMANY NOT THE US
Any machinist knows you DO NOT do a milling cut with a drill chuck! Clearly shows this in the video. Just had to point it out.









Thanks for the excellent coverage! Tsar-Cannon administration.
