Snayperskaya, accuracy is a bit of a moot subject. I was always pleased to group at under 5" at 100 yards with my original SMLE. Christel was equally pleased when she put 5 shots into a group of just under 5" at 1200 yards a while ago. The UK legal SVD originally came with two barrel options and they were both reasonable to 600 yards, beyond that it became a real struggle to keep them consistent. having said that I have seen some superb and truly superb shooting at 800 with one on a windy day.
I think anything under 2MOA for an SVD would be good at 600 yards

We think Sandgroper should be excommunicated from these fora. He leads us astray does him. He led us down the path of darkness and caused us to buy a pistol that fires 6.5x55 Swedish rifle cartridges. My, how our FEO laughed as he signed that one off. Now he is tempting us towards a Bora shotgun.
Yours sincerely

I thought Badgers were nocturnal? If the darkness scares you, better buy a torch instead.
