Lobaev Arms claims to have a rifle capable of shooting beyond 7,000 yards. (Photo: Lobaev<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Russian long-range rifle specialist Lobaev Arms<\/a> is announcing that they’ve been contracted to produce a new sniper rifle tasked with being effective well outside of 4 miles, seven kilometers to be exact. The contract is with an unnamed foreign agency, not the Russian military. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rifle to meet the requirements is the Lobaev DXL-5 Havok, chambered for .50 BMG. While 7,655 yards is a stretch even for the renowned long-reaching cartridge, Lobaev says they have special ammunition in development as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Russian army already has Soviet-era SVD and KORD sniper rifles and don\u2019t need any new ones,” said Vladislav Lobaev<\/a>, the owner of Lobaev Arms. “We have a foreign contract for the development of a DXL-5 in a .50 BMG caliber and investments on creation of a new generation of ammo that will be able to drastically increase snipers\u2019 capabilities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobaev says the new ammo technology extends its range over conventional ammunition by around 50 percent. Early reports<\/a> indicate that the projectiles are moving at extremely high velocities, achieving speeds well over 4,000 feet per second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DXL-5 will be the third rifle in the DXL series. (Photo: Lobaev<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working on the DXL-5 Havoc project in full swing,” said Lobaev. “We are currently processing the remaining parts of the rifle and are scheduled for shooting tests in November.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We created four types of ammo in different calibers,” Lobaev said. “We will test each one of them in November on the DXL-5 platform and choose the two most suited for precision and lethal shooting at such long distances.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobaev did not detail what makes his ammunition unique. It could be the projectile construction, propellant formula, higher-than-standard pressure loading, or a combination of any or all three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the rifles will have to be incredibly precise to reliably put rounds on target at those distances. The DXL-5 Havok will have to be able to shoot groups that are a fraction of a minute of angle in size in order to be effective that far out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lobaev Arms produces a number of precision long-range rifles in a wide variety of chamberings, but the DXL-5 Havok project is ambitious, to say the least. While this contract is with a foreign client, Lobaev hopes that the DXL-5 will see wider adoption if it succeeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm hopes to have the Havoc in full production in February 2022. Pricing is expected to be around $25,000 per rifle package. Visit Lobaev Arms<\/a> online for more info. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
