About the Book

Designed by noted Russian firearms innovator Evgenity Federovich Dragunov to operate under the most extreme climactic and combat situations, the 7.62mm snayperskaya vintovka dragunov -- the SVD -- was the first Russian rifle designed from scratch specifically for sniping. Accepted into the Soviet armoury in 1963, the SVD was later copied by the Chinese, Bulgarian, Romanian and Yugoslavian militaries.

Topics covered include combat characteristics of the SVD, basic components, assembly and disassembly, accessories, cartridges, stoppages and how to correct them, maintenance and storage, confirmation of zero and much more.
