Intended to engage appearing, moving, camouflaged and open single targets. The rifle is a gas-operated weapon. The barrel is locked by a rotating bolt. Cartridges are fed from spring-loaded box magazine.
The gas regulator changes the recoil speed of the moving parts in case of their insufficient recoil thereby increasing the reliability. The rifle is fitted with a sniper optical sight. A night sight may be given to fire at right or in twilight. To fire the rifle, special-purpose sniper cartridges with bullets of increased consistency are used. Standard cartridges can also be used.
