This review tests the Two Rivers Arms reproduction of the Iraqi Tabuk Sniper rifle, a long-barreled AK variant. Practical accuracy was assessed out to 800 yards, revealing limitations of the 7.62x39mm cartridge at longer ranges, exacerbated by a malfunctioning LPS scope. Despite challenges, the rifle demonstrated capability beyond its intended DMR role.

The Iraqi Tabuk rifle is a variant of the Yugoslavian Zastava M70 pattern, manufactured in Iraq starting in 1980. While sharing the M70's distinctive features like unique rear trunnions and a grenade cutoff sight, Iraqi versions often have Arabic markings and distinct grip serrations. The Tabuk was not the universal Iraqi army standard but often a status symbol for elite units. A sniper variant also exists, chambered in 7.62x39mm with an extended barrel and scope mount.
