How much does he want for it?

First of all its probably not a real dragunov.. dont think ive ever seen an actual dragunov in person. Every single one ive seen called a dragunov was actually a romanian psl.

Agree - be careful here .... I do not know if I have ever seen a "real" one ...

I have fired a "Druganov" and I did not find it particularly accurate. Request that you have the opportunity to shoot the rifle before buying it.

I have shot a SVD and as Doug stated it was not very accurate in terms of what we call a Sniper rifle here in the States but it does what the Russian intended it to do fill the role as a DMR. Most the rifles being past off as SVD are really pieced together parts kits of the Romanian PSL which is nothing more than a long barreled AK chambered in 7.62x54r. The SVD uses a totally different gas system than the AK. The imported Russian built Dragunov rifle are known as Russian Tiger rifles and it will be stamped Tiger on the receiver they go for around 2500.00 a PSL sell for 600.00 or less

He wants 900 for the rifle.I'll look this may not be the "real" Dragunov.When yall say there not very accurate what would yall consider accurate?Whats the maximum effective range for these rifles?

 

[Rw]

Did you find out if its a psl or not? 900 is way too much for one of them, ive seen new century built ones for about 600. If your willing to spend 900 look up waffen works and the shortened psl they build,much higher build quality then century and it looks like a normal ak but with a wider mag to take the same 762x54 ammo as the psl, dragunov and the mosin nagant. It should be more accurate too, since it has a higher quality us made barrel on it. One of the waffen works guns is really high on my want list, but it will be a while before i can swing the purchase.

Top rifle is a Romanian PSL, bottom rifle is a Russian imported Dragunov Tiger.
3-4 moa is the norm. for the Romanian PSL with good ammo, the Tiger will do 1.5-2 moa with good ammo.
MER for both rifles is 1200m, with a ER of 800m
