Lever SVt snipers Legit?

The Lever SVT snipers are legit.
As you mentioned, some got lucky and received some at random or in a crate purchase with the Christmas sale, but Lever has hand picked some legit snipers and are selling them at a premium price.
They have also done the same with some pretty rare and scarce K98 codes, selected the rarest and sold them at a premium, well selling the rest at standard RC pricing.

The way they seemed to price the SVTs was after a while, they saw what customers were after, then raising the prices on that. No problem with that. It's called bussines. I got a railed model for the sale price of $200 and a couple of weeks later I saw the price on these go up.

They sent me a worn out, unusable POS mag for my SKS. $25 plus shipping for a paperweight.
Speaking of the SVT-40 Christmas sale... all I got with the gun was a magazine... no tool kit, oil bottle or ammo pouch.
I emailed them about it but got no response.
Did anyone who got the $199 special NOT get these ???
I don't think we got the extras. I do wonder what Lever did with them though.
"....Not super keen on dealing with them again though..."
I would agree with grelmar.....these guys at Lever Arms were my first and my "VERY WORST" experience with a gun dealer. I will never deal with them again and would recommend the same to anyone else that is even considering doing so. There are plenty of other (read it Leaver: R.E.S.P.E.C.T.A.B.L.E) dealers out there and most are listed in the banner at the top of this page. (you go Mystic, Wolverine, CanAm..all beyond excellent service)...every time. I have spent thousands since my first exp with Lever and am happy to say not a penny beyond my first purchase went to them. I learned my lesson (cost me $500 to do so!)...lets hope others don't have to spend any $$$ with them to learn the same lesson.

I was in vancouver a few weeks ago and I went down to lever to check them out. I saw the 2 snipers, and they were in average condition. I didnt know they went for that much. Stock repairs and such, I dont think id pay that much for the 2 I saw there. They have a crap load of surplus rifles and piles of ammo. Bunch of young guys working there, and wouldnt even look at me untill I asked to see a ruger 1911.
Any pictures for legit Svt 40 snipers?
New here and was wondering has anyone seen any aftermarket synthetic tactical stocks for the Svt-40, I emailed ati and tapco several times to bug them
in the past to add to there red rifle line but nothing yet. Though I did run across someone who ordered a Czech or Chinese PSL/ Dragunov furniture and
switched out the butt stock and modified the front wooden heat shield to fit his svt-40 which looked great since we cant get psl's here in Canada.

I bought my SVT40 rifles before they seemed to really gain in popularity and prices came down. I bought mine from Tradex. Yes I paid a bit more especially compared to the $200 offers but I was able to pick out exactly what I wanted.
Just to give a comparison, I paid $400 for a legit sniper (back notch). The stock was a refurb AVT navy. The really interesting part was that the actual firearm seemed brand new. Even the triger was stiff and seemed unfired.
I just ordered one of the Crownin Arms repro mount/scope combo for this rifle. Looking forward to seeing how it shoots.
Really glad to see the popularity of these rifles increase. I was hooked after my first one. 3 months later I had six of them.
