Overview

The Tabuk Sniper Rifle is an Iraqi-designated marksman and sniper rifle based on the Yugoslav Zastava M70 assault rifle system. It was developed in the 1980s at the Al-Qadissiya Establishments in Iraq. The Tabuk Sniper is chambered in 7.62x39mm Soviet and features a longer, heavier barrel compared to the standard assault rifle variant. The rifle has a wooden thumbhole stock, a detachable 10-round magazine, and a scope mount affixed to the receiver. The Tabuk is designed as a squad-level designated marksman rifle for Iraqi infantry. It provides increased accuracy and effective range over standard assault rifles while using the same ammunition as the rest of the squad.
