I just stumbled across this beast that was previously owned by a Russian sniper. It's got characteristics of an F-17 but it looks like the stock as been drilled out in places (or replaced) and I am about 60% sure that those are Vortex optics. Any ideas?

Since you were invested here, I did find more info. Others were curious so I got more pics, but still, it looks like you nailed the rifle type.

Dedal NV scopes have a very different style, it seems. Interesting scopes though, for sure.

But yeah, its likely a Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5x27x56 FFP. It's an older scope but still retails for $2,500. (It took a bit to find a picture of one in the correct orientation to identify the turret and it wasn't the Gen III version I thought it was at first.) Also, the original picture in the field has no grip accessories but does have the sun/glare guard attached making it appear longer. Still, I could be completely wrong.

Great work. I was curious and happened across a different picture you might be interested of. A Ukrainian with a different rifle and optic, but it made me think of this thread. No source or info on it.
