I tried fews shots with my Tokarev sniper. I didnt have a proper setup to zero the scope so i put scope on for video purpose only. I tried irons sights, pretty close were they should be but will need tuning as well. The 12 ports muzzle brake tame the recoil very well but the muzzle blast is terrible, the small digital camera i took almost fell of the cardboard box i used as a support. The rifle digests ammo without a hicup:p Even with hearing protection, the rifle is loud and nobody would want to be next to it without ears plugs at least.

I wouldn't say the ugliest thing but the mount dont do justice on that very sleek looking rifle. I hope to have the time soon to zero the scope to see how accurate the setup can be but the Tokarev is better served with irons sight. For sniping, i will rely on my Mosin PU.

I think the SVT mount is one of the most creative, unique and cool looking scope mounts.

Must be the camera angle, but your SVT looks short somehow in the video. Almost SKS length. Beautiful gun though! I agree abouth the brake - the 12 hole seems much louder than the 4 hole.

Yes its the camera angle. I put it that way to give a better view without having the camera knocked by the muzzle blast:p Cant wait the weekend, i will take my 1945 SVT at the range with various type of ammos:)

I watched a slow motion video on the svt-40 and that rifle bends and twists so much that I doubt you could keep it zeroed in. I am getting one in my opinion it is the coolest wood stock rifle ever made. Hands down better looking than the m1, lee enfield, Mauser, or one of those goofy long Japanese rifles. The Russians definitely make the coolest rifles of that time period.

These are SVT 40 slings of various styles. The full picture of the slings at top show three different SVT 40 slings and on3 SVT 38 sling for comparison. From top to bottom they are: Early first pattern leather sling, SVT 38 canvas sling-note it is about 2-3 inches longer than it's SVT 40 cousin. Third is a later war tight weave canvas sling well constructed and finally a winter white SVT 40 sling. The bottom photo shows a close up of one end of the retaining straps, the forward or muzzle ends. Here the added length of the SVT 38 sling is quite evident. Again it is the second from the top. Early slings exhibit a blued or black painted buckle while later slings have the buckles zinc coated or left raw
 
i have one with a repro scope and mount ,took only minites to site it in, fired the first round at 25 yards with the iron sites then zeroed the scope in to point of impact and that was pretty much it.Read lots about the mounts moveing so just put some lock tite on the mount and slid it into the grove ,there are different types you want to use the one that will allow you to remove the mount just in case.I then fired 50 plus rounds at 100 meters the rifle performed flawlesly and the mount did not move.
