Kalashnikov's new SVCh-308 Chukavin rifle is practically the new successor to the Dragunov. Equipped with modern accessories, it is being developed in collaboration with Russian snipers from various special forces. 
A folding stock, polymer handguard, and Picatinny rail allow for a variety of accessories. Recently, there have been fresh photos of the rifle as President Putin took the opportunity to test it himself. He fired five shots at a target 600 meters away, and hit – at least – three times. We have linked the video to that in the cover image.
Pay attention to the German Schmidt & Bender scope and the Steiner DBAL. The rifle is available in two different calibers. Here are some details:
| SVCh | SVCh-8.6 | |
| Caliber cartridge | 7.62×51 NATO / .308 Winchester, 7.62x54R | .338 Lapua Magnum (8.6×70) |
| Action type | semi-automatic | semi-automatic |

| Overall length, mm | 940 … 1000 (with 410mm barrel) | 1140 |
| Length, folded, mm | 730 (with 410mm barrel) | 925 |
| Barrel length, mm | 410, 460, 565 | 560 |
| Weight empty, kg | 4.3 | 6.3 |
