Seeing this variant raises a question that’s been bugging me lately. Are there any other rifles besides the Mosin-Nagant that you can commonly find in the U.S. chambered for 7.62x54R? For some reason I rarely see any Dragunov semi-autos for sale, and when I do, they’re unreasonably expensive.
Try looking for the Romanian PSL. They are similar in appearance (but not in function, they’re like a beefed up AK) to the Dragunov, and come with a scope. They run about $700
Sweet. Haven’t seen one of those in a while.
Pretty cool. At first glance I thought it was a Stg 44.
Agreed. Good looking gun. I was going to order one until I found this.

I will be preordering. Best part is that it uses STANAG mags for both 5.56 and 7.62×39.
Um, WHAT!?!?! Finally!!! This needs to be an article on TTAG.
I saw one of those a few days ago in 7.62×51. That’s a really cool rifle.

Vepr
svt-40. still kinda pricey but not as bad as the dragunov. I’m in the market for one this holiday season.
That’s because no one makes them, and no one imports them. You can, however, buy a Vepr.
true, but they are oh so cool. It’s going to be the next rifle I purchase.
PSL.

Mmmmmm! gun porn!
Never heard of one.
This rifle is a copy of the HK91 .308 rifle that has been made recently in 7.62 X 39 caliber. It is made by the PTR Company and is a fine weapon.
OK.
Now I need one to keep my CETME company.
