Exactly.
you can get only so far when you have to design cheap enough rifle
Again, couldn't agree more. For what it does, and the way it does the task, the SVD is the best there is. A no-brainer, fast rate of fire (semi-auto - no fumbling with the bolt - no unnecessary moves to reveal the position of the shooter - just point and squeeze), relatively accurate long range rifle. It could be a bit shorter, though :). But then again, I don't like the looks of SVD-S as much as the SVD.
