Saw this post from the TFB. Love to see a company bringing in more SVDs. Also curious to see what happened to copper custom importing them. What do you guys think the price will be?

Holy shit

Also, $1 million pesos. Because I haven’t typed “pesos” in a looonng time.

(I hope it’s way cheaper!)
 
They estimated on TFBTV a price of $6000. That includes scope, 2 mags, and apparently a flash hider that has to be pinned on later by a gunsmith.

At least these won't go on gun broker for a fake 10 mil a pop.
They mentioned in the B&T article that what the rep said in the video was wrong. MSRP will be $7500. And at that price, I'm out.
 
Rob's entertaining comparison of a Chinese SVD vs his M21 replica (testing out to 700 yards):



...for half the price of a Chinese SVD - you can get an American rifle made with twice the quality, and a much better vintage 3-9x optic system...

SVD’s remind me of the FRF2 French rifles a little. I just like that wood vibe. There’s a thread around the hide that has a lot of info about them.

Oh well. I like smaller calibers (6mmBR & lower) so both of these fine rifles will be for others.
 
Ugh, I need this like I need a hole in my head, but I've always wanted one!

I remember seeing advertisements for the Chinese NDM86 in 308 for $2k in Shotgun news around 20 years ago.
I started saving money for it, but got distracted and spent the money on other stuff.
Today I despise my younger, impulsive teenage self!
