Okay, before anyone chimes in, I'll say it. There is only one real Russian SVD Dragunov, and those are very expensive - too much cost to be shooters. There are Chinese clones in 308 or original 7.62x54r. The original SVD chambering ones are worth about twice what the 308 versions are. Then there are the Tigr's, which are commercial rifles based on the SVD design. Some guys try to dress them up to look like SVD's, but they are not an SVD, not really. They are commercial hunting rifles in 7.62x54r. Even so, they are very close. The barrel, stock, muzzle attachment and sights are different on the Tigr. Some guys change them out for SVD parts, and there are even dressed up Tigrs imported by or called California Armory models, but they still have different barrels and gas systems, and are marked differently than Tigrs.
Then there are the Yugoslav M76's and Romanian PSL's (often called FPK or Romak-3'). The PSL is often mistakenly called a Dragunov because of the style of butt stock. There are some who see this as a great conspiracy to defraud, but the truth is, most of it is out of ignorance.
There is tremendous scorn heaped onto the PSL by Drag owners (though oddly enough, there is none heaped on the Yugo). Both the Yugo and PSL are the same nominal design, both being based on the AK action. The m76 uses a milled receiver whereas the PSL uses a stamped 1.6mm receiver. However, as in all stamped AK's, the bolt locks up into the milled trunion. They both fulfill the exact same role as the Dragunov and combat accuracy is the same.
None of them are true long-range rifles. That is best reserved for bolt guns (though for the price of a 7.62x54r Chinese drag, you can get a super accurate M1a). But for the price of the current Romanian PSL's on the market, you can get a great Designated Marksman Rifle, which is what all of these rifles, whether Chinese, Russian, Yugoslav, or Romanian, in reality are.
The Romanian optics, incidentally, are made by IOR Valdada. That would be akin to having military scopes made by Zeiss or Kahles.
They are great rifles and fill their role as well as the SVD (yeah, they really do). They are not Dragunovs (though legally in the US, the FPK Dragunov designation by Tennessee Guns means that for the purpose of bound-book recording, those rifles ARE to be called a Dragunov).
They are fun for longer range stuff, but don't expect tight groups. With good ammo, though, they are certainly "hunting accurate".
