Century Arms PSL-54 | 7.62x54R | 24.5″ | RI035-N

The Century Arms PSL-54 is a semi-automatic PSL-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x54R with a 24.5″ chrome-lined steel barrel and fixed thumbhole hardwood stock. It ships with a single 10-round PSL-style magazine, stamped receiver, SVD-style side optic rail, fixed sights and a muzzle brake. This configuration suits precision-oriented range work and field use where a stable shooting platform and long-barrel performance are priorities. A versatile optic that pairs well with this platform is the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9×40, which offers usable magnification, a reliable reticle and a price well under $1000.
