Must be nice to have lotsa money! Regardless, a real treasure for those who enjoy rare Russian rifles.

Nice, if I read that right made in 1994. I was not aware that they were still being imported that late. For soem reason I thought they had been banned from import before that. I must have been wrong, which is good.

I believe 94 was the last year they were allowed in. My TIGR (Tiger) version is dated 1994.

$6750 is really a bad price. With I had less irons in the fire, but with building a shop, clearing and de-stumpping after cutting timber, etc. I don't need to let loose the cash.

I have the CA TIGR, but would love to have the real one.

only 100 were ever imported. I had a choice between a SVD for 5K in 94 or a Tigr for 1k Knowing what I know now I should have bought 5 Tigers It is with out any doubt my favorite weapon. Shoot one at night, the muzzle flash is massive. It is one bad gun.

Yep, they are lovely...I have one, the government confiscated...and then I made the government give it back..to my son! They really are a fun gun but have become too valuable to shoot. I believe it was one for every 9th man in the Russian Infantry...usually with the silencer attached, their approach to snipers was a bit different than ours.

As I recall I paid $2,500 for ours back in 2004...almost as rare here as an FG-42.

I bought my Tiger back in 94' or 95' for $699 and about 3 months later traded my buddy out of his. When I got my Tiger the SVD was going for $2995. I really wanted one, but my daughter was in school at the time and there just wasn't the extra cash. I like my Tigers and I shoot one of them fairly regularly. The other is unfired from the factory. One of these days I am going to do an accuracy comparison after I finish the stock on my PSL...............................

Really sad to see what unconstitutional (illegal) firearm bans and blockades (ATF import bans) have done to the prices of our hobby.
