POTD: Szép M1, BREN2 BR and SVDs in Sniper Competition
Photo Of The Day and we take a look at the Szép M1. To my knowledge, it’s the first time we have this rifle in any of our POTDs. The Szép is used by the Hungarian Army in caliber 7.62x51mm NATO.
My Hungarian is a bit rusty, so here’s a machine-translated version to help us all understand what’s going on:
“XI organized by the Tata brigade. The MH Sniper Championship is increasingly popular in professional sniper circles. Thanks to the high-quality organization of the competition, our Slovak, Slovenian, Italian, Polish, Romanian and American comrades took part in this year in addition to numerous Hungarian soldiers, and civilian snipers also proved their amazing skills.
We would also like to congratulate all the participants who completed the challenges of the past two days, and we also owe thanks to our colleagues and our sponsors of the championship, who helped the success of the two-day event with their participation and work!”
It looks like an event completely to my taste, with an Eastern Bloc mixture of old and modern firearms.
This looks like Spuhr SICS chassis.
I see a lot of Schmidt & Bender riflescopes in Spuhr mounts here.
The CZ BREN with yet another S&B in a Spuhr mount.
And an SVD by the looks of it.
