Basic models of rifles that are used in Bulgaria

Below you familiar with the basic models of rifles that are used in Bulgaria.

Marlin 336 CS

Systems, on which are built hunting rifles, are several: to prison spuskovata bracket - the so-called "Lever Action", with bolts in prison, semi-automatic, pump type, Bounce, like hunting shotguns.
Rifles that are loaded by means of a lever attached to spuskovata bracket (with pax Lever Action), are rare in the Bulgarian market. Most of us have seen in westerns in which they necessarily be used. Bulgarian hunters have typically Carbine 'Marlin 336 Cal. 30-30. The weapon is very compact and manoeuvrable under certain habits in the archer's fire rate yielded only samozaryadnite rifles. This applies to all guns "Lever Action". The length of the "Marlin" is 98 centimeters, 51 centimeters of the barrel, the magazine holds 6 rounds and the weight of the weapon is 3.2 kilograms. The reason this type of rifles are not popular in Bulgaria is that produced overseas and their importation is quite problematic, and usually are manufactured in gauges, popular in the U.S. market.

Blaser R93

The most common not only in our country, and around the world are rifles with bolts so-called prison. Almost all used pure or revised system "Mauser" in 1898 In her prison by turning around its axis and its movement back to remove the empty cartridge (or undischarged cartridge), but in the opposite movement pushes a new cartridge in the barrel , vzvezhda to percussion lock prison. Some companies produce rifles with bolts in prison, which only move forward and backward without rotated around its axis. These are "Browning Atsera", "Mauser M96", "Heym SR 30", "Blazer R 93. But most remain popular rifles produced by the classical scheme. Most rifles are available in "Zbroyovka-Brno - model M 98. The weapon is manufactured by a classical scheme of "Mauser M 98" in caliber 7 x 64; .270 Win.; 30-06; 7 Rem.mag.; 300 Win.mag. The store accommodates 3 or 4 rounds depending on caliber, barrel length is 605 millimeters and weight of 3.3 kilograms of weapon. Produced in two versions: standard and luxury.

Steyr Mannlicher Scout

For the wealthy Bulgarian hunters interest is the production company of "Steyr - Mannlicher. Austrians produce weapons before more than 100 years, so the high quality of their weapons can not surprise anyone. Rifles "Steyr" are produced in almost all known European and American gauges, ranging from 223 Rem. to 9.3 ґ62 and 8ґ68. Rifles are the length of the tubes 51 and 60 cm for common caliber and 65 cm for the option "Magnum". The most interesting model of the company is "Steyr Mannlicher Scout. The weapon is manufactured entirely with synthetic stock and box, usually in gray or black. In the butt is set spare refill. The front part of polulozhata is made of two parts, which can be opened first, and thus serve as a bipedal, thus allowing for better support for the weapon and thus improve its accuracy. It is produced in two caliber - 223 Rem. and 308 Win. The total length of the rifle is only 98 centimeters and a barrel - 48, top 5 cm are mounted sight and foresight, which are harvested in separate beds when not in use, as well as special facilities for mounting the optical sight.
Another interesting model is the "Pro Hunter" of the same company. This is a professional hunting weapon with a special box shaped butt and resisting knocks and bad weather plastic. The weapon is manufactured in all standard gauges for the company and lengths of tubes 51 or 65 cm
Most companies offer different types of boxes for its products. Usually these are standard - wood and synthetic, but notice - and with a luxurious wood. Controversial is the question which type is preferable. Weapon with a wooden butt and lodge is beautiful, but the synthetic is more practical.
Some companies, such as "Blazer" and "Sauer" for example, offer interchangeable barrels, and their models. Thus meet the hunter with the same weapon, changing tubes have different gauges, a logging and cheaper than any caliber to buy a separate carats respectively.
Another type of rifles that are on the Bulgarian market are samozaryadnite. They operate on the principle of freedom and prison gazootvoden principle.

CZ 511

Free prison work only rifles cal. 22 with peripheral flash. Any caliber is a very powerful weapon, operating in this way. The most popular are "ZKM 611", "CZ 511" and "Marlin". From these models, arguably the most interesting is "ZKM 611. Carbine is produced in 22 caliber magnum. Barrel length is 52 centimeters, the total length of the gun is 97 cm and weight - 2,8 kg. Fillers were respectively 6 and 9 rounds. An interesting feature of the rifle is that using one bolt it dismantled into two almost equal parts, which makes it convenient for transportation.

Аutoloader rifles
"Bar II" and "Bar Light II" to "Browning"


From rifles that work on the principle of removal of powder gases on the Bulgarian market can find models of "Browning" and Russian "Berkut" and "Tiger". Аutoloader rifles "Browning" is perhaps the best in its class. However, it is this company has invented this type of weapon. Offered in two options: "BAR II" and "Light Bar II. The difference between the two options is the weight of the weapon. "BAR II" weighs 3.5 kilograms and "BAR II Light" - about 3.1 kg. Gauges are 270 Win.; 308 Win.; 30-06; 7 Rem. mag.; 300 Win. mag. Available and caliber 338 Win. mag., but only the more severe form because of the strong recoil. Polulozhite butts and can be wood (standard or luxury performance) or synthetic (model "Stalker"). The synthetic version is a special material that does not allow hands to parzalyat, but the touch is smooth as velvet. Heads of rifles can be black, black with silver or white inserts with engraving. Magnum is recommended for models to be equipped with the BOSS system (rifle ballistic optimizing system), which substantially reduces kickback, but raises serious shot at the sound, but also raises the price of the weapon around 300-350 euros.

Berkut - 2M1

Аutoloader other rifles that can be found on the Bulgarian market are Russian "Tiger" and "Berkut". For rifles "Tiger" was written and many of them may very well be preparing a separate article, but the carbine "Berkut" very little is known. The weapon is manufactured by CBDRSH - soo (Central Bureau designing research for sport and hunting weapons). The company produces only small arms ranges and on behalf of organizations, which determines the quality of production. Many Russian hunters to this day do not know the output of this company. Carbine in caliber 7.62 ґ54. I had the pleasure to hold in my hands and make a very good impression with their exceptional compactness and high quality.

Tiger

These are broadly rifles models that occur most frequently on the shelves of weapons stores. Many hunters, slaves of the deception that two of the same caliber rifles more powerful is that with bolts Аutoloaders to prison. According to them the reason is that some of the powder gases are damaging to recharge. The truth is that the recharge process begins after the bullet left the barrel and this applies to all weapons that operate on this principle, and this issue can be found in any textbook information ballistics.
Type rifles "pump" and break out occur so rarely that are rather exotic hunting for Bulgarian, which is not subject to this article.

Swarovski Riflescopes is a jewel

New optical sights, binoculars,Riflescopes, telescopes and rangefinders of the Austrian company Swarovski are a hit among the wealthy hunters. Designers have developed three varieties of new-type of pocket binoculars, and a series of SLC series EL. Pocket models are compact and allow 8 - and 10-fold increase. Their weight does not exceed 0.215 kilograms. For more affluent customers the company manufactures pocket binoculars with crystals on the hull.

SLC models are used with success in low visibility due to the unique plasma coating of lenses. Their hull is made of aluminum with rubber protective coating. They work in thick fog and rain, without clouding and perspiration. This is achieved by filling the vacuum and the inner cavity of the body with nitrogen. Samples are made with 7 -, 8 - and 10-fold magnification and lens diameter of 30, 42, 50 and 56 mm.


EL binoculars have the highest light transmittance exceeding 90%. Can also be used to focus with one hand due to their extremely thin tube. Their hull is made of lightweight magnesium alloy. Binoculars are 8 -, 8,5 - and 10-fold increase in the diameter of the image of the lenses 32 and 42 mm.

Hunting rifles - hunting of big game

Hunting rifles consist of a tube with sights, imprisonment and stock. The hunting rifles barrels are made from high-strength steels with increased thickness.
When shot in the chamber and barrel pressure developed from 3000-4000 kgs / cm, which is 5 - 8 times greater than shotguns. The length of the barrel hunting rifles is most commonly 54, 58, 60 to 65 cm of the barrel channel is not smooth but lumpy rotating. Furrows are formed between convex fields. Their number is 4 to 6, rarely 8. This device attaches to the rotating barrel of bullets, stable flight and greater range and accuracy.
The hunting caliber carbine is determined by the distance between two opposite fields and means in millimeters. In AmericaEngland caliber is denoted by parts of an inch (2.54 cm). For example, a caliber 22 in England is equivalent of 222 in the U.S. and about 5.6 millimeters. Caliber 30 is a caliber equal to 308 or about 7.62 millimeters. To the caliber required by another figure is the length of the chuck in millimeters - 7x57; 7x64; 7,62 x54; 8x68, etc.
On the barrel are precision-made sight and foresight. They can keep accurate shooting to 100-120 m. In many models of sight can be easily set for specific shooting distance - 50 meters, 100 meters on all hunting rifles can be installed and optical sight, which accuracy is increased significantly, even at a distance of 200-250 m. Over this distance with an optical sight accurate shot can produce only very skilled hunters. Optical sights are many different types and increases visual field. The first digit in the name of the optical sight is sequence increase, while the second is the angle of the visual field. Most widely used for hunting 4x32; 6x42; 8x56, and optics with a variable increase 3-6x42; 3-9x56 and others.
The large increase is not always a priority and is only used when shooting support. Quickly and easily the archer's eye is adapted to increase 4-6 times. Using the optical sight can be determined and the approximate and exact distance to the game. Some expensive models have electronic rangefinder eyepiece and on account of the exact distance. Usually with an optical gun sight adjusts for accurate shooting at 150 meters, which allows a good shot without adjustments between 140-180 meters. This feature depends on the size and weight of bullet used.
Bullets for hunting rifles have metal bushing capsules, powder charge and bullet. At the bottom of the cartridge is given caliber. The first digit indicates the diameter of the bullets, which corresponds to the diameter of the barrel channel and the second figure
- The length of the cartridge corresponding to the chamber of the barrel. With names such as letters K (the German Cape! - Edge, a crown) are shown at the bottom of the form and manner of cartridge reloading the gun. Eg 7x65 means K cartridge designed for opening with a carbine barrels. Lack of letters indicates names with fuller sleeve designed for rifles STORE manually or automatically recharge. 8 is the letter C indicates the charge reinforced and increased diameter of the bullet.
Bullets for hunting carbine are many models and shapes. Even for the same caliber manufacturers offer different weight, shape and design bullets. This is done to the same carbine to be used for hunting other game species. In general, the bullets are divided into the following types:

1. Retaining their shape when hit. These are sharp tip bullets thick sheath and lead core »They are designed primarily for predators with valuable fur, which pierce and tear. Used for small caliber - 5.6 millimeters, 222, 223.
2. Deformable bullets. They vary in structure, most often exposed to lead top a round and

Rifles for hunting wild pigs

Hunting rifles are designed and regulated hunting of big game. The firing is conducted only with bullets.

1. Retaining their shape when hit. These are sharp tip bullets thick sheath and lead core »They are designed primarily for predators with valuable fur, which pierce and tear. Used for small caliber - 5.6 millimeters, 222, 223.
2. Deformable bullets. They vary in structure, most often exposed to lead top a round shape. When hit the highlight of the bullets spleskva and acquires the form of a sponge. These bullets usually do not dig through the game and leave all their energy into striking him, causing severe shock and death. They are designed for large animals resistant to the shot - wild boar, deer, wolf, bear, and used to 7 mm caliber, 7.62 millimeters, 8 millimeters and 9.3 millimeters.
3. Tumble-tion and bursting bullets. With them through most other construction and coatings of metals combined with different tensile strength and caused destruction of part or in whole bullet hit. Suitable for hunting deer, fallow deer, mouflon, offspring of wild boar and small predators. Used for almost any caliber.

When hunting big game hunter must select patrons whose bullets have the energy and striking force for the safe and instantaneous killing. Striking power is a function of mass and velocity of a bullet with which to move. It is believed that when the energy in Joules hit must be at least 10 times greater than the mass of the animal. All manufacturers of hunting cartridges on the packages they give much information about weight, shape and function, speed and energy of bullets of different distances. Another very important condition is to select one bullet to pass on all striking power in the tissues without departing or making superficial wounds. It should, of course, be used very powerful bullets, not to tear, dismembered the corpse, which occurs most often in hunting deer.
When shot with a hunting carbine bullet leaves many
high initial rate of - 760 - 1200 m / sec. The trajectory of the bullet is not a straight line. Depending on the setup of the gun for accurate shooting, the caliber and weight of bullets, he initially flew over the target line and point. Distance, which is set by the gun sights -100.150 or 200 meters, the bullet crosses the target line and started to fall below it. For each caliber and bullet in the optimal target distance means that the bullet which does not deviate from the target line by more than 2 cm, and is not necessary to make adjustments in the shooting. Therefore, using the optical sight setting is shooting around 150 meters, but without optical sight - about 100 m. Using a rifle shooting range to which it is not set, resulting in gaps or injury to animals. In steep terrain shooting bullets fell quickly into line target when shot down, and remained higher than the target line when shooting above 45 degrees slope upwards. Distance at which the bullet flies at an angle of 20-30 degrees, depending on the size can reach 4000 m.
