Omark Model 44

The Omark Model 44 is a bolt-action single-shot target rifle made in Australia.

[1] The rifle was the mainstay of Australian full bore target shooting for many years replacing the .303in.

Omark Model 44 rifles have also been used as a hunting arm.

In this capacity however, they must be treated with special care — like any precision rifle, the fine mechanism is vulnerable to jamming when exposed to mud or dirt.

The Omark Model 44 was tested as a sniper rifle by the Australian Defence Force but not adopted, as it is single shot only and the design could not easily be changed to a repeater.
