Re: Springfield 30.06 vs Dragunov SVD
AFAIK the SVD is used by few snipers in the infantry it is used more in the marksman role,infantry sniper teams prefer the SP66 while SF are using the MSG-90.Katana wrote:Safarigent,
Lets not forget the Indian Army still uses the Dragunov as the standard sniping weapon. I'm sure there are operational reasons, apart from bureaucratic ones, that they have not adopted any other weapon or calibre.
As concerns semi automatics, the famous Garand was one too.
You haven't lived until you have been close to death,for those who fight life has a different flavor that the protected will never know.

yes the svd is more of a designated marksman rifle than a true sniper. i love the balance of the weapon.boris wrote:AFAIK the SVD is used by few snipers in the infantry it is used more in the marksman role,infantry sniper teams prefer the SP66 while SF are using the MSG-90.Katana wrote:Safarigent,
