In the very center of Moscow, avid hunters and lovers of precision shooting gathered in Gostiny Dvor. There are stuffed deer and bears around, robots and children scurrying underfoot, dozens of carbines, scopes, and mock-ups of cartridges in the windows. Visitors are persistently offered to touch everything with their hands. The international exhibition of weapons and hunting goods OREEXPO will run until November 7.
At the entrance, guests are greeted by Cordon turrets on racks, on kungs, and even mobile ones on a tripod, which are already operating as part of MOGS across the country. Cordon employees say they have fired more than 1,000 turrets in a year (238 in the past month alone). They have designs for any small arms in calibers from 5.45 to 12.7 mm. The company has its own design bureau, which quickly adapts the turrets to any machine gun or machine gun.
- Yes, even under a rocket, - jokes one of the engineers of the company. - There is only one problem so far: representatives of the MOG units order turrets for one type of weapon, and they are given a completely different one from the warehouses of the Ministry of Defense. And the masters have to look for a way out of the situation again. We recently adapted the turrets for the Soviet Degtyarev 7.62 x 54 light machine gun, and they also say that Maxim machine guns have been removed from conservation. We are already ready to manufacture turrets for them.
If Cordon produces turrets for MOGS, then FRONT Tactical Systems entered the market with a piece product. She makes automatic turrets, which are tactical systems "Scorpion", "Spikelet" and "Contour". They are for large companies that can afford it. Each complex can identify, escort, and destroy dozens of drones. To do this, they have ammunition supply hoses and two boxes each with 1,300 rounds of 7.62 x 54 caliber. The manufacturer also offers its Manticore ammunition supply systems for the AGS-17 30 mm automatic grenade launcher and PYTHON for 12.7x 108mm machine guns.
The High-Precision Complexes Holding (Rostec State Corporation) presented new hunting carbines at the OREEXPO exhibition - MC 572 "Height" and MC 574. Both models are designed for accurate shooting beyond the kilometer mark and adapt to a specific shooter.

It should be noted that the five-shot "Height" sends a 12.7 x 108mm bullet aiming at a range of up to two kilometers. At the same time, it combines a number of successful solutions for completely different types of small arms.
To disassemble it, you need to fold the butt (as it used to recline on the Saiga-20), slide the pad behind it (as on European pistols), and then remove the spring-loaded firing pin - similar to the one found on the Japanese Arisaka with a sliding shutter. At the same time, the carbine has butt adjustments, bipods, cheek supports, and comes out of the box with its own "jar" - a tactical silencer.
"Altitude" is not for hunting. The BZT cartridge can be used to hit enemy armored vehicles.
The MC 574 carbine is chambered .The 338 Lapua Magnum (8.6 x 70 mm) is built on the same principle, but it is smaller and twice as light. But you can't run with it either - it's a thing for thoughtful work from a disguised position. It works according to the barrel-block scheme, and confidently hits targets at a distance of 1200 m. Additionally, the trigger force and trigger position are adjusted, there are cheek and shoulder stops, and the muzzle brake dampens the recoil, as at "Altitude".
The carbines have straps for any sights and instruments. They are currently undergoing pilot tests.
Rostec also presented a new matryoshka cartridge at its stand. The three-element bullet "Ellipsis" is available in 5.45x39 and 7.62x54R calibers. Such cartridges allow you to create clouds of damaging elements and quickly shoot down any drone at distances up to 300 meters.

Tula Cartridge Factory offered an expansive 9X19 cartridge (135 GR.HP). It allows you to confidently hit the game with the first hit, as well as train in closed shooting ranges without fear of a ricochet. And they also say that you can't fight like that.…
Rostec's IGLA shooting range can also be viewed at the exhibition for the first time. According to representatives of the brand, the domestic development completely replaces the foreign analogues that have left the market for the 308Win cartridge (7.62×51 mm), which athletes liked so much.
The IGLA civilian shooting range ensures accuracy at the level of the best sniper systems. At the same time, it does not "choke" with cartridges from third-party manufacturers.
"If St. John's Wort had had a rifle and IGLA cartridges, Cooper would have had to write a separate novel solely about his incredible marksmanship," Rostec joked.
