Boasting a 23in barrel and manufactured on Yugoslavian\/Serbian tooling, in Al-Qadisiya, Iraq. This specific reproduction rifle was made by Two Rivers Arms in Oklahoma. <\/p>\n<p>While many see this as a way of extending the 7.62&#215;39 cartridge&#8217;s distance, the rifle was categorized to only have a max effective range of 600m. However the rifle has lived on to be an effective &#8220;urban sniper&#8221; weapon or a platoon-level marksman&#8217;s rifle, as the marksman is able to interchange and cross-land ammunition\/magazines with infantry regulars. This directly solves many logistical issues that a large standing army with lesser logistical support may face.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward into the 90&#8217;s and 2000&#8217;s, US forces entering Iraq now face the Tabuk Sniper as a rifle encountered in the hands of both insurgents and friendly troops from the region. <\/p>\n<p>For more information on the Tabuk Sniper Rifle, we invite you to check out some reports from Miles Vining @Silah Report , @TFB TV , and @Forgotten Weapons <\/p>\n<p>Saddam&#8217;s Mid-Range &#8220;Sniper&#8221; Rifle: The Tabuk Sniper (Miles Vining, TFBtv)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/k3VKscJQY8M\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/k3VKscJQY8M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Enigmatic Iraqi Tabuk AKs w\/ Miles Vining (Forgotten Weapons)<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/JQeFtSs4mbA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/JQeFtSs4mbA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Brandon at The Gun Room for his help as our FFL support. <\/p>\n<p>Consider supporting us via Patreon ?  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/9HoleReviews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/9HoleReviews<\/a> (you an also access the Practical Accuracy Scoreboard here)<\/p>\n<p>Observer setup seen here powered by: <br \/>&#8211; Vortex Optics Razor HD Spotting Scope 27-60&#215;85 Angled<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2M3zTGP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/2M3zTGP<\/a><br \/>&#8211; Vortex Optics Pro GT Tripod<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2X7j6sL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/2X7j6sL<\/a><br \/>&#8211; Phone Skope Lollipop Universal Digiscoping kit<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ZK50zk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/2ZK50zk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>We have a discount for Slate Black Industries MLOK accessories! <br \/>? www (dot) slateblackindustries (dot) com <br \/>Discount code: 9HOLE<\/p>\n<p>Shopping with this link costs you nothing, but provides us with equipment: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=sbi09-20<br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/?tag=sbi09-20<br<\/a> \/><br \/>Distance Conversions: <br \/>150y &#8211; 137m<br \/>200y &#8211; 182m<br \/>250y &#8211; 229m<br \/>300y &#8211; 274m<br \/>350y &#8211; 320m<br \/>400y &#8211; 366m<br \/>450y &#8211; 411m<br \/>500y &#8211; 457m<br \/>800y &#8211; 732m<\/p>\n<p>This video&#8217;s editing by Agency Communications LLC<br \/>Music by Tyops (THANKS!!!)<\/p>\n<p>__________________________________________________________________<br \/>We love mail:<br \/>9 Hole Reviews<br \/>21175 Tomball Pkwy.
