Simrad KN 250/252 F nightscopeThe 7.62 TKIV 85 (tarkkuuskivääri henkilömaaleja vastaan "Finnish: precision rifle, anti-personnel purpose" [ [http://www.mil.fi/maavoimat/kalustoesittely/index.dsp?level=64&equipment=47 The Finnish Defence Forces 7.62 TKIV Dragunov] ] ) is a bolt-action designated marksman/sniper rifle used by the Finnish Army.

It is based on the Mosin-Nagant rifle, using the same old (in some cases antique) receivers. The Finnish Army has produced such rifles since the nation was founded.

The Mosin-Nagant bolt-actions were modified in 1984 by Valmet who also manufactured new barrels for these rifles. The rifles were assembled in 1984-1985 by Finnish Defence Forces (FDF) Asevarikko 1 (Gun depot 1) in Kuopio, Finland.

Though the 7.62 TKIV 85 sniper rifle has been modified extensively compared to the standard Mosin-Nagant rifle, the use of the old receivers in these rifles makes them arguably the oldest small arms in current use by any military. Some of the parts used may date back as far as the 1890s.

Another exclusive feature of the 7.62 TKIV 85 is its 7.62 x 53R chambering. No other currently used military firearm is chambered for this Finnish cartridge. The PKM machine guns and other Russian firearms in Finnish use are chambered for the 7.62 x 54R cartridge.
