What I meant is Mother Russian army doctrine's change between a scoped Mosin in the hands of a fairly highly trained individual, member of "sniper divisions", picking up his own targets during WW2 or with the help of a spotter immediate post war vs a squaddie, with above average shooting skills, merely engaging targets on command within a regular Infantry fire group, role for which the SVD was specifically designed as far as I know ?
I think we are saying kinda the same thing but it drags us away from the current debate of this post, ie :
scoping a rare Mosin is for sure evil and fully deserves Siberian vacation but, at the same time, the result is 100% pleasant cheap thrill

I've got a straight pull M14 in M21 style, leupold 4-14x42 scope & Harris bipod. With the scope removed it's back to a National Match rifle.

Re: Reproduction Sniper rifles Yes or No
I would not add a scope to a historical rifle, but I do like the concept of a company manufacturing a reproduction sniper rifle.
I really wanted one of the reproduction Vietnam-era USMC M40s that were on offer a few years ago: https://rifletalk.org/2015/04/15/review ... roduction/ Sadly, I could not afford it.
