TOZ .22 Caliber Rifle Series
The Russian company Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod (TOZ) manufactures .22 caliber bolt action rifles from the 1920s until the present day. Early models were intended for basic shooting training, but they quickly became popular among hunters. The most widely produced models are single-shot TOZ-7, TOZ-8 (more than one million produced), TOZ-12, and magazine-fed TOZ-17 and TOZ-18. In the modern day, TOZ produces the TOZ-78 model.
The TOZ .22 Caliber Rifles and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
TOZ-1
The single-shot TOZ-1 rifle was designed in 1927 by V. Selivanov and Ya. Kanevsky. It was produced for only one year, since it was shortly replaced by an substantially improved TOZ-7. Therefore TOZ-1 was adopted for use as a sporting rifle, and almost never used for hunting. TOZ-1s were used from the late 1920s to the early 1930s for basic shooting training, until it was replaced by the improved TOZ-7 and TOZ-8 rifles.
