IZHMASH hunting and sporting rifles any interest?

[TeaPot2]

just looking for your opinion would you buy modern Russian rifles made by Izhmash (same factory that makes AKs) beside AKs, SVDs, Tigers, Saigas they make many hunting and sporting rifles both bolt action and semi-autos...they are not as cheap as military surplus but if there is an interest I can bring them in...thanks

some examples:

Hmmm!!! A nice quality made little bolt action in 7,62x39! Me like!!!
I know Norinco makes one but I expect Izhevsk to manufacture better rifles with much better quality control than Chinese copies exhibit.
As the guy sez: ""depends on the cost".

How much??$$??

Nice, a 7.62 x 39 good quality bolt rifle with a walnut stock (monte carlo??)....... could definately make room for that if the price is right!

A reasonably priced Berkut would be nice...

I'd be up for the first one.

What is the ballpark on price?

Izhmash doesn't make Berkut's. Tula does and they are pricey but if $$ is not a problem they could be imported

don't know yet what could be the hidden charges in the process of importation if any... very roughly 800+ for the less expensive model...

Hmm Berkut or a LOS 9-1 . I already have a LOS 7-1

I'd love to show up at the camp next season sporting one of those.

I'd go for the 7.62 model.

If $800 is the cheapest, it's more than I'd like to spend.

A Bercut looks interesting...

It's the closest thing we'll come to an SVD.

would you pay around $2000 for it?

2K is little higher than I expected. Armrus was selling them cheaper, around $1200. I guess you need to get them in bulk to lower the price.

Had a look at the factory website. It would be interesting to see either the bolt action sniper rifles, or the Record competition rifles. I suspect though, that sales would be limited.

Unfortunately, since that time manufucturer price went waaaay up...

Record is a great rifle but you are right sales would be very limited because of a price. anyway here is the picture

Oh, Beauty!
Bercuts are nice, too.
EOS (Emir of Schmoe) had one and he sent us quite beautiful pics of the bolt and rifle gas system. It's built like a bank vault door.

On second thoughts ... I'm very tempted
