Dragunov sniper rifle

Heard of it but really have no idea of the value.

It's a varient of the AK. I thought there were all 7.62 x 54
Quick google search tells me that if it's the real deal it could be worth a bundle.

If it's a kit, then still worth a little but nowhere near as much as a real one

If I put a scope on my Ruger 10/22, does that make it a sniper rifle?



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.

Probably a PSL not a Dragunov

If it's a Century Arms it is likely a Romanian PSL and not a Dragunov. They used to be relatively inexpensive but the value has gone up quite a bit on the PSL in the pst few years. With the scope they regularly go for $1200 ish.

Like others have said if it's a real deal one they are pricy. Could be a PSL...if so it's not worth as much. Watch out tho because they also sell kits to turn a VEPR into a replica. I have a vepr 7.62x54r (20") that I was going to do that too. The real ones are 23 or 27" I think. They all will be stamped Russia...and for the record vepr, the last Russian AK that was skirting sanctions, have all been banned from import recently.

I actually have one. There are only around 2500 that were imported to the states and their importation is banned so the value skyrocketed. In good condition with matching scope they will fetch close to $5000 in 7.62x54R

ETA I have a Norinco NDM-86

IIRC the original Dragunov scope was actually based on the average height of a man who was 6' and the sniper would adjust based on his target's profile.
