Each rifle in the "Hunting Dogs" series is produced as a one-of-a-kind piece. In addition to their exceptional design, these rifles come with a certificate of authenticity, detailing the names of the designer, engraver, and wood carver involved in their creation. This certificate also includes the individual number of the firearm and an image of the customized engraving, further emphasizing the exclusivity of this collection.

The shooting accuracy of each rifle has been enhanced and verified through rigorous testing. Additionally, the smoothness of the trigger is another feature that will appeal to shooting enthusiasts, offering a more fluid and enjoyable shooting experience.

For this special series, IMZ utilized the stock from the MP-161 "Manul" model, with a few subtle modifications. The stock is made from high-quality walnut, a wood known for its strength and noble grain. This wood is then coated with drying oil or varnish, which highlights the natural beauty of the wood grain. This choice of materials gives each rifle a look that is both elegant and robust, perfect for hunting enthusiasts and admirers of fine firearms.

The rifles are also equipped with a dovetail rail, which allows for the secure attachment of optical devices such as collimator sights. Additionally, the stock is adorned with an original reticle pattern, laser-engraved, adding a touch of modernity to the classic aesthetic of the rifle.

The "Hunting Dogs" series is not only a technical and artistic achievement but also a celebration of IMZ's history. This special edition of the MP-512 rifle has been named "version 75" in honor of the 75th anniversary of the production of hunting weapons at the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, which will be celebrated in 2024.

According to Oleg Sapozhnikov, Commercial Director of JSC Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, this exclusive series is a testament to Izhmash's ongoing commitment to excellence in artistic engraving. "Izhmash continues to maintain and develop its expertise in the field of artistic engraving. This second series of exclusive rifles is the best proof of that. In the near future, we plan to launch another limited edition, titled 'Seasons,' which will undoubtedly appeal to the most discerning users," he stated.

In addition to the "Hunting Dogs" series, IMZ has other projects in the works. The upcoming release of the limited edition "Seasons" is expected to attract the attention of fine firearm enthusiasts, with thematic engravings representing the four seasons. Each rifle in this series will also be a unique piece, designed to reflect art and nature in their purest form.
