The CS/LR35 (military designation QBU-202 and QBU-203) is a type of bolt-action sniper rifle designed and manufactured by Chinese company Norinco. Developed from CS/LR4, the weapon is chambered with either 7.62×51mm cartridge or 8.6×70mm round in a 5-round box magazine. The rifle features a free-floating barrel and specifically designed munition that improves accuracy.




Design and development


CS/LR35 is the further development of the CS/LR4 sniper rifle system. CS/LR35 is available in two versions chambered in either 7.62×51mm NATO or 8.6×70mm (.338 Lapua Magnum). Improvements include reinforced material for the barrel, lightweight rifle body, fully adjustable folding stock, and CS/DEL3A high precision cartridge in a 5-round box magazine. The weight is less than 6 kg (13 lb). The accuracy is claimed to be ≤0.5MOA at 100 m (110 yd), ≤0.75MOA at 300 m (330 yd), and ≤1MOA at 800 m (870 yd).
The 8.6×70mm variant of the rifle can be differentiated by its slightly longer barrel with a handguard that only has four ventilation holes whereas the 7.62 variant has seven smaller ones. The manufacturer claims that, with 8.6×70mm ammunition, the weapon has a conservative estimate of sub 1 MOA accuracy at 1,200 m (1,300 yd).
8.6×70mm variant of the CS/LR35 received designation QBU-202 with its scope designated QMK-201 variable zoom optics. 7.62×51mm variant of the CS/LR35 received designation QBU-203 with its scope designated QMK-201A.
