Last gun show I went to, I saw An old milsurp looking rifle that I think was called an SVT. I know nothing about them and I don't recall ever seeing anyone talk about them on this forum. Just curious. The one I saw had a price of $1200 on it.
Isn't this a Russian made rifle? If it is, I was wondering why it would be so expensive compared to the Mosin-Nagent M-44's and 91/30's that I see for sale fairly cheaply. What is it that makes them so much more desirable?
