I better start saving now.......

Well after i buy my under fold Yugo ak that is. And more bulk ammo. But anyway my point. I've always been a fan of the Dragunov Sniper rifle look. Soooooooooo ive decided im gonna save up and buy one. Well, kinda. I know there are other rifles out there with the Dragunov look. So, i would like suggestions as to which one is the best. And i dont mean the best just because its russian and the true original. I'm talking which one is the most accurate, well made, best bang for my buck Dragunov/Knock off. I know ammo size will probably come into play on accuracy and effective range so i'd like details on that too. (I AT LEAST know that the Russian Dragunov is 7.62x54R)

This is where you'll find the info you're looking for...The original russian SVD is the best, and keep saving..theres are not cheap.

Dragunov dot net - Dragunov and PSL Sniper Rifle Information

1: "Who makes the best Dragunov?"

Well, first of all we can rule out the Romanian version. Regardless of what you may have seen in advertisements, there is no such thing as a Romanian Dragunov. The two manufacturers that are available here in the US are Norinco from China and Izhmash from Russia. The SVD is possibly also manufactured in Poland where it is called a "SWD". Many other countries buy their SVD's from either China or Russia.
