Tsuwano

The Tsuwano is a Self Loading Rifle chambered in 6.5x50mmSR.

Design
The Tsuwano is based off the Type 1944/1945 Pedersen Rifle.

The Tsuwano requires a special wax-coated version of 6.5x50mmSR ammunition in order to function properly. While this might be seen as a hassle, the wax coating on the ammunition actually helps to keep dirt and grime off the ammunition and helps to waterproof as well. For these reasons, it could be seen as an advantage to use wax-coated ammunition.

Optics
The Tsuwano, being chambered for a light round and using a toggle-delayed blowback action, is exceptionally accurate as there are no gas ports to disrupt the bullet once it is in the barrel. For this reason, converting the Tsuwano to a Marksman's rifle. The scope mount for the Tsuwano, like the iron sights, is offset to the left of the receiver to allow the use of stripper clips within the action.

Similar to other Japanese rifles, Japanese scopes for the Tsuwano are pre-zeroed at the factory and are carried separately from the gun when not in use, to prevent damage. Japanese scopes are very high quality and accurate, and though their left-offset takes some getting used to, with time it becomes very natural.

Asida 2.5 Power Scope
The Asida is a mid-power Japanese scope with a magnification of 2.5x and a field of view of 10 degrees.

The scope features a rubber eyepiece. It is good for engaging targets at a medium range, and it is easy to remove the scope for storage with the quick-detach lever on the left side. Like all scopes for the Tsuwano, the Asida is offset to the left of the rifle.
