I tested the SV-98 in Russia. Comfortable ergonomic stock, extremely accurate with the military issue sniper load, 10 shot mag was easy to change, balanced well, liked the way the bipod folded to stow in the forend. The trigger was very good, liked the option of back-up iron sights. The optics on it were junk, the action was stiff and clunky, and the suppressor took a bit of fussing to install and remove. Also the safety was quite a reach from a firing position.

We can not import these rifles so I would be interested in hearing what you think of the CISM if you get one. The rifle shot sub 1/2 MOA at 100 yards with steel cased sniper ammo so it is capable of fine accuracy.
