dunno, never been!, though I would like to visit St Petersburg as my great-great Grandmother on my Fathers side was from there and there is extended family over there.

Mr Badger.........a straight pull version of the SV-U (bullpup version of the Dragunov with full auto capability) was in the pipeline but I would imagine the sanctions against Russia will have knocked that on the head.The SVDS with the stock folded in (will still fire with stock folded in) is 85mm shorter than the SV-U so still handy in the tunnels.

an SV-U would be even pawdier....
