Westrifle or Weimajack?

Always impressed with the handpicked rifles Weimajack sells... never dealt with Westrifle. Check their trader ratings. I bought an SKS and SVT-40 from Weimajack and supremely satisfied with both. Get both, maybe get a shipping discount...

Why is svt40 on westrifle 399 whereas everywhere else is 299 ish? Is it typo ?
They are ex-sniper. They have a notch on top of receiver for svt scope mount.

Nice, would it fit modern scopes?
Nope, its for the original or a repro scope mount, either case is expensive....

Is it more accurate naturally?
I Bought a SKS from Westrifle and have a SVT on it's way soon from Weimajack.
SKS was closer to me (BC) and more items posted to choose from at a time so I managed to find a nice stock I liked at Westrifle first. I honestly flip flopped a couple times and could have gone to either seller since they both have excellent reputations.
SVT is coming from Jacques, pinned instead of chopped magazine and a bore described as pristine is a no brainer IMHO.

If you speak about a svt sniper, well i have 1 but i didnt have the time yet to shoot it. The svt sniper was a potent rifle but not great for long distance shooting but still was used until the ww2 end. Complains was about the inaccuracy of the first shot and also, the mounting system. Maybe some were selected for accuracy but i cant confirm for sure. I hope to have time soon to try mine

My take:
Both guys have nice stuff.
Weimajack only sells hand select stuff he gets from the wholesaler as he is physically located close to the importer of most of the milsurp we see in Montreal. I have bought probably 6 or 7 guns from him and never have been disappointed. His pics and descriptions are equalled only by Jean at P&S IMHO. Biggest downside is that he doesn't take online payment and no credit cards which can be inconvenient.
Westrifle also posts pics of the actual rifle and his pics are getting better but were not so good in the past. He does take credit cards which is a bonus, but no online ordering and though he and I have discussed this and he is in the process of changing it, he still requires a stupid ordering form be filled out and e-mailed to him. In the past his SVT rifles had clipped mags which I'm not fond of and the 1949 SKS's he recently sold were humped up by the Russian exporters by fitting converted post-1950 stocks and faking the 1949 markings on them. Not his fault though and most guys were pleased to get a 1949 in any condition at all. I've bought 2 rifles from Westrifle, one was OK, the other had an issue and was accepted for a return with no hassle.
I would not hesitate to buy from either source. Both are reputable and will stand by their products in my experience.
