@@FinalFront the SVT is what every Mosin owner gets next :') hopefully someday for me lol, I could have gotten one for $2000 with a bunch of ammo ...like a BUNCH....damn should've

@@tacomas9602 I got my SVT before I ever had a Mosin. I got mine from the used rack at my local gun store for $70. It was a little different than the ones I saw everywhere else. Different stock, different sights. It shoots extremely accurate, years later I found out it was a Finn M39.......For $70

Кто-то написал про АВТ(у меня она есть:).Я пи*дец удивился)

It can use iron sights without removing the optics since it is on the side rail and elevated a bit to the side.

Dunno if that’s true, but it sounds really damn likely. We had the same thing in boot but only at 100m range max (regular infantry)

There is good ammo for it, yes. And they even removed the bayonet lugs on some later models of it because frankly you don't need it. It doesn't really improve the accuracy *that* much. Noticably, yes. But even the Soviets were under no illusions as to the limits of its ability. the SVD, despite translating literally as sniper... is not one.

@@selonianth IIRC there are other Soviet/Russian precision rifles chambered in the round that perform better than the SVD.

@@Waldemarvonanhalt Correct. Because the SVD is not a sniper rifle. It's a Marksman's rifle.

SNB is that ammo

Its the Russians. Countries like Ukraine, Romania, Latvia or Bulgaria had nothing to do with the weapon. Give credit where credit is due.

I read that Russian response w a Russian accent in my head lol

You guys would probably get a heart attack if you saw Mosin then. Not to mention apparently you have no idea that military uses either SVDS(collapsible stock) or SVU(bullpup version) since the same time when purpose build DMRs became a thing in NATO(hello there, SR-25). However apparently someone believes that mounting scope onto M14 made it a DMR when M21 was half assed into existence:D P.S.: and that is primarily because US didn't realize that snipers are "kind of needed" even in modern war until the late half of Vietnam War. Meanwhile soviets had thousands of renowned snipers during WWII and just decided that continuing to use what worked was a good idea. _Surprising, right?!_

@@TheArklyte are you sure you've replied to proper section/person?

Both here in EU and in US! Its twist and caliber makes it wind-resistant, better energy-carrying and intuitively falling chambering in 8mm Mauser/7,92mm IS and not so finicky in the bullet choice as SVD! I mean,it can fire API,Tracer,Ball and even the awful MG ball (or goat-crapammo as we call it!) not to mention most semi-decent Hunting Ammo and Sub-Sonic! SVD is...JUST BEAUTIFUL!!! I LOVED IT! And had more than I need! LOL But finding the right ammo for it was...nightmare! It is like shopping for shoes for some princess! I bought in bulk tin of Russian Sniper-AP ammo and it was..a nightmare! One could not fire it at all w/o stoppage, another one could had a 3 LtBOA accuracy at 100m (3 LtBOA= 3 Loosely thrown Buckets Accuracy at 100m), and the third one performed...WELL!!! And all 3 were Russian-made beauties with very close serial numbers! The same goes for hunting bullets! But once you find the right one... the only solution is hand reloading using those bullets or copy of the same by the Lapua! But again...Bulgarian copy that has SVD furniture but M76 action and ammo is LIKE...THE WORST THING AMONG EX-COMM-BLOCK "SNIPER" RIFLES YOU CAN PUT YOUR HANDS ON!
