This review of the SVD Dragunov (Tigr variant) highlights its role as a Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) rather than a pure sniper rifle, designed to extend infantry engagement range. The test confirms its capability for consistent hits at 500 yards, though challenges include ammunition availability and optic limitations. The video emphasizes training and equipment familiarity over simply having the latest gear.

The Hungarian FEG HD-18 SVD, a rare import, offers excellent accuracy with its 7.62x54R caliber, even with standard ball ammunition.

Its rarity places its auction value significantly above other SVD variants.

This review compares a new production 2019 Romanian PSL imported by Century Arms against a classic import model. While the new PSL features improved NPZ optics with illumination and clearer glass, its accuracy is comparable to the older model, with both averaging around 1.5-4 MOA.
