Sweet video.....I'm sure it has more to do with the shooter than just the rifle.

What? The cartridge? The M200? The company? (psst..the latter two are no more). That's kind of an odd statement.

Re: Interesting video
is the spokesman (ruski) not the very same guy that owns TSAR CANNON Ltd, based in Moscow?
Seems this is just a UAE offspring for the ruski company that claims " most accurate rifles in whole of EU".
TSAR CANNON, use imported US made CNC kit and the rifles are all conventional builds.
Marketing hype???
Probably.

Makes sense. The UAE is looking to grow a sustainable economic infrastructure for when the oil runs out. They've already got Erik Prince building a private army for them. Maybe they're looking to the military-industrial complex of the post-WWII US as a role model.
The registration for their web site is from the UAE but the web server is in Russia, probably Moscow.
Dunno if they build a proprietary caliber or use the old Soviet crap but they advertise rifles "in 3 main calibers - 300WM, 338LM, 408CT (other calibers are optional)."
If their scopes focus as poorly as their photographer, their shit sucks.

Looks like it. His name is Vladislav Lobaev. Here's a pic of him from a Russian Popular Mechanics online article:
The rifle at the Tawazun web site looks very suspiciously like the Lobaev SVL shown at world.guns.ru, which it says is made by "Tsar-Cannon Ltd":
There's also an interview with him at Forbes Russia online from about a year ago. He talks about the investment required to break into the American market but he omits any mention of a UAE partnership.
EDIT:
And there's a (Russian-only) rah-rah video featuring the same guy mixed in with the rifle and some news clips available at the Tsar-Cannon website. I don't think it'll play online, you'll have to download it (86 mb) to watch it.

He keeps saying twelve thousand meters! That's 7.45 miles! I don't think so. He also claims 0.20 MOA! Not happenin with factory ammo! I'm afraid there's just a lot of hype.

Yeah I was wondering if I could use it to jack up a car and change a tire if the situation called for it.
