Survivorman Gun

shot in the dark, but is there a chance its from an importer that the US doesn't use? A norinco like company perhaps?

I Know!!

It's a TOZ .22! My friend bought one the week before I saw the episode! It's a really nice little .22, makes me wish I didn't already have a Savage mkII!

TOZ-78 to be more specific. (Being a .22, it was discussed at length at RFC.)

See, I knew somebody would figure it out. Thanks to everybody. Now i'll be able to sleep tonight.

If you haven't found it yet the website www.usrsog.org has some good reading on survival guns.

Now to everyone who laughed, i guess that Barvarian hump was a Russian hump after all. LOL.

The rifle Les used in the show was a Russian TOZ .22LR bolt action. Centerfire Systems was selling them as the Whisper.

What was the rifle he used in the arctic episode in case of polar bears?

He's so hardcore he only needs a .22 for polar bears!
