In 2010, a small group of precision shooting enthusiasts led by experienced benchrest and precision shooter Alexey Sorokin purchased an abandoned manufacturing building in Moscow. Within less than a year, this facility transformed into ORSIS, a unique Russian small arms manufacturer that would revolutionize the domestic precision rifle market. Founded officially in 2011, ORSIS emerged from the vision of shooters who understood the demands of precision shooting and sought to create custom-grade rifles using modern mass production technologies. The company's founding was driven by a commitment to self-dependence and quality control at every production stage, with an emphasis on being customer-oriented—a refreshing departure from traditional Russian gun manufacturing practices. From its inception, ORSIS focused on vertical integration, manufacturing every component in-house from premium stainless steel, including actions, barrels, triggers, and stocks. The company launched with the T-5000 tactical rifle, which was introduced in 2011 at the international exhibition of Russian weapons in Nizhny Tagil as an entirely original design using no third-party components. Despite geopolitical tensions and Western sanctions following the Ukrainian crisis, ORSIS remained unaffected due to its private ownership and independence from government entities. The company rapidly built an enviable reputation within the Russian shooting community and expanded into international markets through partnerships with respected American and European companies. Today, ORSIS rifles are used by Russian elite law enforcement units, including the FSO (Federal VIP Protection Service), while civilian shooters have purchased hundreds of models ranging from lightweight hunting rifles to tactical precision rifles. The company's vision continues to focus on producing world-class precision firearms that combine traditional rifle design principles with cutting-edge manufacturing technology.
