I own one of the approximately 100 KBI imported SVDs, and a Tigr that's four inches of barrel short of being back to mil-setup.
For the US buyer, they cost sooo much that I would advise purchase pretty much only if you really dig the SVD, but then I started obsessing about them back when I was about 7 years old. *shrug*
I do enjoy shooting them, although I don't get to take them to the range as often as I'd like, as I really don't want to shoot corrosive surplus ammo through them... and they DO kick like mules, at least with the 180 gr. rounds I usually have available to put through t
