Czech Made B-30 Sniper Rifle Optical Sights

This Czech Made B-30 Sniper Rifle is unusual for a heavy sniper rifle in that it is capable of automatic fire, though recoil is brutal in this mode. It is most often fired in the semiautomatic mode, as the magazine is small, the buttplate rudimentary and unpadded, and the entire weapon rather light for prolonged automatic fire. Optical sights are difficult to fit to this weapon and take some work to properly use, due to the mounting of the magazine.
The B-30 and its brethren seem to have been confined largely to arms shows where the designers hoped for sales which pretty much never happened, and by 2006 it was no longer being offered. Virtually all of these weapons were chambered for the 12.7mm Russian cartridge, however, another common caliber was .50
Browning Machinegun. A couple of rarer chamberings included 14.5mm KPV and 15mm Mauser. Twilight 2000 Notes: This is a rather rare weapon in the Twilight 2000 World; in .50 Browning Machinegun, it is even rarer, and in 14.5mm KPV or 15mm Mauser, it is almost unknown.
