This is a classic non-automatic [[Bolt action|bolt-action rifle]] with the lowest possible weight intended for severe operating conditions. During loading, the cartridge is inserted into the breech opening with the bolt open. Barrel locking is achieved through a rotating bolt. The rifle has the [[bullpup]] design, where the bolt carrier group is located behind the trigger. The rifle is designed taking into account all the requirements for weapons for high-precision shooting. The floating barrel is in free recoil when the bullet flies out. The rifle demonstrates an acceptable level of recoil during shooting. Recoil is suppressed due to the [[muzzle brake]], the effect of a recoil isolator, an elastic multilayer shoulder pad, and optimally balanced weight.
