.22LR, the Strela was a Smallbore. These were made at the Izhvesk arsenal, and I think developed into the Ural 5 and 6 rifles used by many soviet shooters in the '80s and' 90s.

I'm not sure if there was a 300m CF version.

Now that would make an interesting alternative to a Martini at the local club eh?

Really nice !

Think the new FWB2800 has a barrel clamp/tuning device ?

The NSRA sold (and possibly imported) various Soviet rifles in the 1960s; the Strela, MTS12 (Tula arsenal equivalent) and the "Vostok" CM2 Standard Rifles. A club mate had a Strela 2, which I shot once or twice. These are big rifles; the barrel is 28 or 29in, so much the same as a BSA International, but on a longer bolt action.

Its enough to make me want to take up .22 rim fire shooting again (but with a rifle this time!).

The barrels should be capable of high scores on the current prone targets. I suspect few owners clocked up enough mileage to degrade accuracy; many may need a damn good clean though.

The stocks won't fit as well as a modern match, unless you're lucky but you don't expect that for the price. And it's not hard to modify the cheekpiece. I believe that the factory intended stocks to be modified as required.
