Advantages and disadvantages

Impeccable quality of workmanship. It is a weapon that can emphasize the status of the owner. While he has a good shooting performance.

• A somewhat unusual method loader seems difficult only at the moment of acquaintance with a rifle.
• When reloading rifle open cavity, which are the weapons of conventional design always remain closed. Therefore, it is sensitive to all types of contaminants.
• A very large area of the rubbing together of parts. The slightest infringement of the quality of polishing, chips and scratches, the mechanism would jam. The rifle is extremely demanding of its content.
• The possibility of quick change barrel, and delivery can be several blocks handguard – barrel of different caliber.
• Have the opportunity to shoot the rifle with cocking or to bring it into firing position manually. This significantly increases the safety of using it.
• The design of the trigger mechanism allows to adjust the force on the trigger. He also has mode shneller.
• The kinematics of the weapon is that at the moment of shot under the action of the recoil momentum, supporting the shooter’s shoulder moves back, and the hand holding the fore-end, slightly leaning forward. This ensures the preliminary unlocking of the barrel, which increases the rate of fire. However, you cannot exclude the fact that when using cartridges of large capacity, defective ammunition or improper position of the Lodge – for example, no support of the butt plate in the shoulder – complete separation (breaking) of the block of the barrel and butt.
• At the time of reloading the entire set of sights – rear sight, front sight or optical sight is shifted forward. The shooter temporarily loses the target and may miss it altogether.
• The rifle is designed for driven hunts. For on scopes on the cover of the receiver made the undercut. Their size and the distance between them do not coincide with the standard brackets. Will have to buy a special “bridge” and scopes of the company Krieghoff. Although for those who are able to pay half a million rubles for the hunting rifle it’s a mere detail.

Semprio inaccessible to most hunters. However, she does not possess the unique qualities of small. Rifle Remington 700 series (Police LTR TWS, VTR, XCR, VLS, SPS), which are incomparably cheaper, much higher on this indicator.
