The Estonian M14 TP, a sniper variant based on the US M14, suffered from significant zero retention issues due to a poorly designed B-Square scope mount and a commercial Hawke optic. Despite modifications like wooden thumbhole stocks and bipods, its reputation was poor, leading to the development of the improved M14 TP2. Only a small number were produced.
This review details the Estonian M14TP sniper rifle, a modification of the standard M14 rifle supplied by the USA. The analysis highlights significant performance issues stemming from inadequate scope mounting solutions, specifically the B-Square mounts and a commercial varmint scope, leading to poor zero retention and ineffectiveness for military sniper roles. The 'TP' designation, meaning 'Precision Rifle,' is noted for its ironic contrast with the rifle's actual capabilities.
