A couple of years ago, I shot alongside a lad with an AK47, a Russian made straight pull without a scope. He was doing very well with it, hitting a no 11 more often than he missed at 300yds. His Dad had a Dragunov with the proper scope............. there was some banter going on between them.

It's a nice looking tool, and I've often thought about one, but that barrel is soooo skinny.............

Re: Red Oktober
The barrel was designed with a thin profile to save weight, and the Soviet military manual for the Dragunov states that in order to maintain optimum accuracy the rate of fire should not exceed more than two rounds a minute unless combat conditions dictate otherwise.Pete wrote:It's a nice looking tool, and I've often thought about one, but that barrel is soooo skinny.............

To comply to the accuracy standards set by the Soviet military the SVD rifle with 7N1 sniper cartridges may not produce more than 1.24 MOA extreme vertical spread with 240 mm twist rate barrels and no more than 1.04 MOA extreme vertical spread with 320 mm twist rate barrels.
The accuracy requirements demanded of the SVD with sniper grade ammunition are similar to the American M24 Sniper Weapon System with M118SB cartridges (1.18 MOA extreme vertical spread) and the M110 Semi-Automatic Sniper System with M118LR ammunition (1.27 MOA extreme vertical spread), both of these rifles were designed decades after the SVD.

Re: Red Oktober
Now wouldn't it be nice if there was UK version of the competition restricted to ComBloc firearms, but I would need dispensation for my VZ58 as it is in .223.
