Now all that being said, there seems to have been a fairly decent market for the knock-off rifles - There would most likely be some interest in a knock-off SVT sniper if it could be done for the same(ish) $$$ as the 91/30 clones.
I picked up a fairly nice cross-cut sniper SVT last year but let it go when I couldn't find a deal on mount and scope. I wasn't paying $600 for optics.
