Finnish TKIV 85 sniper rifle


Recommended Posts

This is my Finnish Tkiv 85 sniper rifle in 7.62x54R. It shoots sub-moa. It has an original Valmet stock and Valmet Toro block. Two types of Valmet stock were used by the Army, one with an adjustable cheek piece, and the other a "target" model. This is the target model.

The Toro block holds the barrel and is glassed into the stock, leaving the entire barrelled action free floated. The barrelled action is a Finnish M28/76 with a carbon fiber shroud wrapping the barrel. It has a match trigger. The scope is not included, but the picatinny mount is.  $2750 shipped to your FFL, C&R ok.

The 7.62 TKIV 85, short for 7.62 Tarkkuuskivääri 85 (7.62 sniper rifle 85) is a sniper rifle used by the Finnish Defence Forces. It is based on the Mosin–Nagant rifle, using the same (in some cases antique) receivers. The Finnish Army has produced such rifles since the nation was founded. The Mosin–Nagant bolt-action rifles were modified in 1984 by Valmet who also manufactured new barrels for these rifles. The rifles were assembled in 1984–1985 by Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) Asevarikko 1 ("Arsenal 1") in Kuopio, Finland. Though the 7.62 TKIV 85 sniper rifle has been modified extensively compared to the standard Mosin–Nagant rifle, the use of the old receivers in these rifles makes them arguably the oldest small arms in current use by any military. Some of the parts used may date back as far as the 1890s.

May I ask a few question about your rifle please. I have a couple M28/ 76 Mosins. I've read about these, not familiar at all with them. Thank you Bryan Beach City Ohio
