Design
The rifle is equipped with an adjustable stock with integrated monopod in support of more stability and accuracy while shooting. A special ergonomic and orthopedic grip was installed in order to provide comfort by reducing the muscle strain of the user hand to a minimum. Active-reactive muzzle breaks reduce overall recoil. The base design can be further altered and modified{{Cite web|url=http://www.newsgeorgia.ge/v-gruzii-razrabotali-snajperskuyu-vintovku-sateravi/|title=Главная страница}}
Modularity
Accuracy
The designer states an overall accuracy of 0.3 MOA field tested with bipod. Fixed may be more accurate.
Designation
The name "Satevari" comes from a type of ceremonial Georgian dagger which is carried together with a traditional national dress called Chokha. The specific designation may be an implication as to the rifle's accuracy.{{cite web |url=http://www.georgianjournal.ge/discover-georgia/29676-evolution-of-georgian-weaponry-part-i-melee-before-gunpowder.html |title=Evolution of Georgian Weaponry, Part I – Melee, Before Gunpowder - GeorgianJournal |website=www.georgianjournal.ge |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150323161800/http://www.georgianjournal.ge/discover-georgia/29676-evolution-of-georgian-weaponry-part-i-melee-before-gunpowder.html |archive-date=2015-03-23}} {{Cite web|url=https://www.academia.edu/1917231|title = Khevsuruli dashna|last1 = Vakhtang|first1 = Kiziria}}
