Bora-12
Notes: The
Bora-12 is the first domestically-produced sniper rifle for the Turkish Armed
Forces. It was adopted as a result of an international shooting competition; POF
of Pakistan produced the winning design.
The rifle, however, is 100% manufactured in Turkey under license.
The Bora-12 is also used by Azerbaijan, a recent export customer.
In addition to the Turkish Army, the Bora-12 is used by the national
police force, in particular the Gendarmerie Special Operations unit.
The Bora-12 is a
modern-type sniper rifle, built using generous amounts of light alloy and
polymer. The stock in particular is made mostly of polymer, and the pistol grip
and handguards are mostly of polymer.
The stock has a recoil pad which is textured and shaped for a good grip
on the shoulder, has an adjustable cheekpiece, and is adjustable for LOP.
It has an extendable monopod under the stock, and folds to the right for
travel. Atop the receiver is a
MIL-STD-1913 rail, which continues along the top of the recoil pad.
The sides of the handrails have short rails, and the underside of the
handguards also has a rail. The
barrel is 26 inches long, and tipped with a beefy muzzle brake.
Backup iron sights are provided.
