It must be noted that all components of the ORSIS rifles are made in house, including CNC-machined bolts, actions and trigger units, precision-cut barrels made from highest grade barrel steel, as well as polymer, wooden or aluminum stocks. So far early production ORSIS rifles displayed excellent accuracy under the ‘real life’ field conditions, routinely shooting 300-meter groups as small as 0.5 MOA, and often even better. Several ORSIS T-5000 tactical / sniper rifles are reported to be submitted for trials by Russian government.

 

ORSIS T-5000 sniper rifles are built on the manually operated bolt actions with more or less traditional dual front locking lug bolts. All actions are machined from high grade stainless steel, and are available in right- or left-hand versions and two basic sizes – standard (suitable for cartridges such as .308 Win and the like) and long (suitable for Magnum-class long range cartridges such as .338 LM). All actions are equipped with stainless-steel match grade barrels, bored, rifled, chambered and externally machined in-house, using state-of-the art CNC equipment. Barrels of the tactical rifles are threaded at the muzzle to accept muzzle brakes or other muzzle devices.

Trigger units are also of indigenous design and manufacture, made from quality steel. Trigger pressures can be adjusted between 500 and 900 gram or between 1000 and 1500 gram, all other critical parameters (such as trigger overtravel) also can be adjusted according to user preferences. Manual safety is conveniently located at the rear of the bolt and has three positions – “Fire”, “Safe”, and “Safe, bolt locked”/

ORSIS T-5000 sniper rifles are fed using detachable box magazines with 5- or 10-round capacity. Standard stock for ORSIS T-5000 sniper rifle is built on aluminum chassis, with glass bedding.
