I was interested in purchasing a Dragunov SVD rifle, and I happened to find one for about $600, however, it is a Romanian version, and I have heard from some people that the Romanian Dragunov's are not very good, and a real Russian one can go for over $2000. Is this true? Would it be a waste to spend $600 on a Romanian Dragunov SVD (it comes with a scope)?
