By the early 1990's the Czechicon VZ54 sniper rifle had begun to show it's age so the Czech's made some improvements to the rifle to improve its performance and update its abilities. A new wooden stock was designed and fit to the rifle which incorporated an adjustable cheekpiece for a proper sight picture and the addition of a removable adjustable bipod to provide stability in the firing position. The rifle was also reequipped with the PSO scope (4x25) with a built-in infrared detection screen and mount of the SVD-63 rifle. The optical sight could be safely removed as well without losing its zero. This new rifle was designated the Vz54/91 and would continue to serve in the URN and other provincial police and security agencies until its eventual replacement a few years later by the SSG-3000 rifle.

The rifle now retired from military serve have found their way into the surplus market was they are prized rifles in shooting sport clubs and with military and police competitions. The labels on the for end are typical of European shooting competitions. These labels are usually attached on the stock after taking control of the weapon before the shooting match.
