About
What it is, and why it matters
The Drulov Model 70 is a Czechoslovak single-shot .22 Long Rifle target pistol built for 50-metre precision competition. It uses a bolt action operated by a knurled rear knob that retracts the bolt to expose the chamber and cocks the striker on closing. Fitted with adjustable target sights and a wraparound walnut grip, it was offered with either an adjustable conventional trigger or a set-trigger system for elite free-pistol shooting.
A product of Cold War-era Czechoslovak precision engineering, the Drulov Model 70 earned a reputation as an affordable yet highly accurate free pistol, prized by 50-metre target shooters and still sought after on the collector market.
Manufactured by the firearms cooperative at Litomyšl; the Drulov name derives from "DRUžstvo LOVeckých" (hunting cooperative). Production totals are not preserved in published factory records.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
