richUK 90 Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 You're a lucky man indeed! You won't regret getting one, i love mine to bits.Do you want a .308 or a 7.62x54r?.I went for the 54r as i wanted the 'proper' calibre and 54r is easy enough to get in the UK and it is the SVDS version with a shorter thicker barrel, thicker receiver and folding stock.It also has the mil-spec 1200m rear sight,but is fitted with a Russian 8x42vd scope with the 1000m rangefinder and the correct Russian military bipod that clamps to the receiver.Good luck with your search and keep us posted , heres some pics to keep you going This is it with some Soviet laminated handguards i aquired 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TigerMoses 31 Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 TIGR paid for, waiting for it to come to Texas. Ordered "brand spanking sparklingly new" SVD wood furniture set and a 10 rnd magazine from a dude in Russia, and the combo front site (and a polymer set), just to have "both", from the UK site. Hoping by end of month have it all together. The owner of TAK47, owns a TIGR and said his place can replace site for me. Bought the Pelican 1750 case for its new home.

Waiting on front site/flash hider Very nice Is it my eyes or is the barrel the shorter SVDS type, looks about the same length as mine. One thing i would recommend if you can find one is the Russian issue bipod that clamps to the receiver. Edited May 28, 2013 by UKAK Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One thing i would recommend if you can find one is the Russian issue bipod that clamps to the receiver. Yeah, TIGRs are 4" shorter barrel than normal SVD Bipod, not going to spend $300-$1000 just for bipod. I plan on getting an airsoft one to use when I want to display the rifle, but not to shoot with, they're more like $40 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I put the SVD sling on it yesterday (yep, looks so good) and the owner at TAK47 says he can istall it for me (I live in the area) and he has a TIGR that has been 'Dragunized' I'm still waiting to have a free weekend to shoot it for first time. Wife has to be available to go to range to watch, since she funded most fo the project. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think you would get an adjustable gas reg through rusmilitary, though i may be wrong.Its odd but the SVDS paratroop version never came with an adjustable gas reg fitted.My SVDS has the fire select markings etc all in Russian Cyrillic script and doesnt say 'Tigr' on it.It also has the standard 1200m rear sight.Do yours stamp a ring around fired cases like Saigas do?,as according to a manual I read they do but for some reason mine doesnt.

TigerMoses 31 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Finally took my setup out to the range to sight in and see what I could get her to do. But let me first state, I let 4 other people shoot my gun, sharing the awesomeness of the Dragunov (strangers, not friends). I used the 100 and 200 yard range. Here's the best I did at each distance. A three shot group at 100 yards. 10 shots at 200 yards at 8" circle The extra holes outside were because I stuck the sticker on a previously shot target Edited July 28, 2013 by TigerMoses Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TigerMoses 31 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Its me, not the ammo, my skills are still developing. 7 shots? Two in identical holes or off the disk? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Three thru the hole nearest the bull...unless I had a massive flyer! .When I bought mine I got talking to a guy thats owned four of them and he said if he could offer one piece of advice it would be to shoot nothing but the Dragunov for 12 months and get to know it inside out.
