What is the scope you mounted ?

Lovely!

If I put my M14 back in it's wooden stock, I was going to put an ARTII scope on it as well. Looks the part!

I'd be interested to know how you get on with it in terms of MOA and what ammo you push through it.

SVDS today with a new POS 8x42vd scope I got zeroed whilst the sun was out

So if you're East of the Volga I'm guessing there's a chance that your Druganov is semi auto or has the straight pull only thing also Invaded Russia?

Alternatively, if you go far enough east of the Volga you can eventually end up West of the Volga in the UK where it was indeed sunny this morning before the weather went pear shaped again this afternoon! That would mean it is indeed straight pull.

Nice rifle, looks good but the cammo' isn't working, I can still see it!

Yes Paul, I'm far enough east that it puts me in Shropshire and unfortunately it is straight pull.Its a shame we can't have them as Mr Dragunov intended.

Nothing wrong with straight pull rifles, just ask my K31, but I know what you mean.

Do you use it in competition?

Not new but new to me.

Tikka T3 Varmint Stainless in .243Win.

I've bedded it into a laminate stock. The bottom metal is now real metal (Third Eye Tactical) which is also bedded. Allows AICS 10 rnd mags for "tactical" comps.





So far I've only had her to the range once, but she's shooting well! (Vertical stringing not withstanding.)

Not a the moment but looking to join another club and shoot Mod ranges so may have a go in the future.I haven't really looked into what classes it would be eligible for.

Not collected them yet...
