The Romanian gun does shoot pretty well. For the money the Romanian guns are a decent deal. I have one. With mil surp I can get about 2 moa. With handloads 1.25 moa.

It is not a true SVD pattern however. The Soviet SVD utilizes a short stroke gas piston It brings out more accuracy than the romanian long stroke.

A true Soviet SVD (military model) can run up 7000. The Tiger's that were brought in as sporting rifles are around 2000.
