civilian version of SVD ?

[HappyCamper]

i know there are rifles in states that are called TIGR, basically a look alike or a civilian version of SVD, are they restricted/non-restricted or prohibited here in Canada ? thanks in advance, dont know where to find info. it is based on an AK rifle, but comes semi originally and used as a hunting rifle in states, and not from AK family.

It is prohibited as a "variant" of the AK ....

AK-esque rifles are especially evil in Canada. With the exception of the valmet hunter, anything even remotely associated with the AK has been prohibited. Even rifles that don't have the same internals or mechanism of operation (ie. the SVD).

.....and thus starts another headache as an intelligent, responsible Canadian tries to make sense of our beloved firearms law.

Looks like a Valmet M78 and a Valmet hunter to me ...

The closest thing to the SVD platform you can get here is the Berkut 2M1 in 7.62x54r

There are a few in Canada. Armrus brought them in when they were operating.

M78 and a Valmet Hunter. Both in 308. They - well the Hunter at least - are tight!

Keep an eye on the EE. They come up from time to time. The only SVD part that fits it is the magazine. Would not be too hard to fit the POSP scope to it.
