Sorry, just can't stand that term. A rifle is a rifle, and a scoped rifle is a scoped rifle. A trained sniper may use a rifle with a magnified optic but that doesn't necessarily make it a "sniper" rifle. Sniper's rifle would make more sense.

As far as the Dragunov, as others said, authentic ones are very expensive.



fricking weird arse rant considering the official term for the weapon includes the word "sniper."

I mean the Russian translation for SVD literally means "Sniper rifle Dragunov"
