新中国成立后,我国军队一直没有装备专用的狙击武器,虽然也曾设计过一些狙击枪,但并不成功。后来在对越自卫反击战中缴获了越军使用的SVD,于是进行仿制,1979年设计定型了1979年式7.62mm狙击步枪,1981年试产并装备部队,主要用作杀伤中、远距离上的单个重要目标。后来该枪经少许改进后于1985年正式生产定型,并重新命名为85式狙击步枪。 After the founding of new China, our army has not equipped with a special sniper weapon, although some sniper rifles were also designed, but it did not succeed.
