Seems very cheap !

I had one in .308 and had some fun with it for a while before moving it on.

Always wanted one and enjoyed it while I had it. As has been said, not really a sniper rifle but a DM rifle.
Just what I thought about the one I used to have.
Any Romak around?
By Romak do you mean one of these?

Otherwise known as the Romanian PSL, built on a RPK action chambered in 54r, they were developed by the Romanians after the Soviets cut off supplies of Dragunovs etc after Romania refused to participate in the Invasion of Czechoslovakia and often mis-sold in the States as a "Dragunov".Accuracy varies widely from 1moa for a really really good one with sniper grade ammo out to 3-4moa and quality control at the factory tended to be lacking, whereas each true Dragunov is handfinished and test-fired for accuracy before being approved for use.PSL receivers don't tend to like heavy loads and some fail due to the increased recoil acting on a stamped steel receiver.Never seen one in the UK other than a few deacs and one dealer that has a section5 one listed as a Tula Arsenal produced Dragunov!, which is odd in itself as Tula never produced Dragunovs they were/are all produced at Izhmash.Waffenschumacher import PSLs' into Germany and had some listed last time I looked but were all semi-auto and I don't know it a straight pull version is available, I did email RomArm in Romania to enquire but never received a reply.
