Ask yourself question ... When Kapitalist US fascist dogs come kicking your door down, you reach for work of obscure Belgium engineer or for the master piece of komrad Mikhail Timofeyevich ??

Re: Best ever battle rifle
Froggy.......the one on the guys back isn't a VS Val it is a VSS Vintorez.Easiest way to tell the two apart at a glance is the Val has a skeleton sidefolding stock rather than the fixed wooden dragunov style stock of the Vintorez
Vintorez top, Val bottom.
The guy in the bottom pic has a SVU (bullpup version of the SVD) and apparently Uncle Oleg is working with Izhmash to bring a straight pull version into the UK that will keep as many of the mil-spec features as possible.Will be at the front of the queue if he pulls it off.

Re- Tovarich,
You have 1st pick, VR3 VSS or VAL, I'll be happy with whatever's left
Good luck for your SVU !!

Re: Best ever battle rifle
I did.
So many rifles. So little time to shoot. So little spare room in cabinets.

Besides, as it stands, I have a rifle for every application I currently engage in. So, any more would just be frivolous.
