Zastava M70 or SVD?

Is Zastava M70 a good gun or should I buy an SVD instead of it for nearly the same price as my first full-power cartridge rifle? If I stick with Zastava should I go for .308 or 30-06?

      Target shooting for up to 600 yards, medium-game hunting, maybe I will step to large-game, but I'm not sure now.

        Why not get an accurate gun. You can pay half as much for an extremely accurate rifle.

              AR-10 price is 2-3 times higher than SVD in place where I live.

              Browning X-bolt
              AR-10 (of whatever flavor you want, just make sure you wind up with the parts compatibility you want)
              Tikka
              Bergara
              Winchester 70
              Cz American (or others)
              If you are target shooting, you should probably get something accurate, which does not include an SVD. If you just want an SVD, get one, but you'll get walked all over by any of the above at 600m. SVDs are, on the best days, 1moa guns.

              Same for Tikka, Winchester and CZ compared to M70. Never heard of Bergara before, looked it up, also 1.5-2 times higher price.

        Why would you get overpriced trash as a long range target rifle?

        >Zastava M70 a good gun
        I've heard lots of good things about Zastava Mausers. They use FN dimension instead of german, as I've heard. Some people complain that Zastava guns are rough, but hey, for the money you can't complain - it's cheaper than CZ, better than turkshit 308 and than last russian civilian 308s.
        > or should I buy an SVD
        Depends on what you want
        >should I go for .308 or 30-06?
        .30-06 all the way. M70 is a long action Mauser 98, they don't really go well with short action rounds like .308 even with the factory adjustment. Sometimes they may misfeed.

        I'd say Zastava is your pick.
        Why don't you get both, tight on budget right now?

        >Target shooting for up to 600 yards,

        What makes you think that those are not accurate enough?

    Zastavas are dogshit, if you REALLY need a balkan gat, get a VHS. If you'd actually want a precision rifle, get a Sako

      I just want a full-power rifle which is able to reliably hit an 8-10" target at 600 yards. Zastava and SVD are just most budget options in my place.

        I honestly doubt an SVD is a budget option

          SVD is under 1k$ here, AR-10 start at over 2k, CZ's are over 1.5k, Sako and Tikka start at 2k$

          just get the SVD, it's kino and you can flex on the amerifat poorgays here

          I dunno, rimmed cartridge just feels odd for long range.

            600m is not long range so it's perfectly adequate.

            I don’t see how a cartridge being rimmed or not would have any impact on long range shooting. If you want to get the best results use good ammo. If you are shooting up close (~300m) you can use pkm ammo just fine. Your scope and ammo matter more here. Assuming the svd is not old and worn out it should do around 1 moa

    >bolt action hunting rifle vs semiauto DMR
    I have a dragunov and as much as I love it I think you're better off with the m70 (although I have no experience with them) if you're going to hunt. Depending on regulations where you live you might have to pin a magazinento 3 rounds and svd mags are expensive. A bolt action will 99.9% of the time be more accurate and with 308 you'll have a way bigger selection of loads to suit whatever you need.
    Still if you love the dragunov I won't stop you as they are a drug and they can comfortably do everything you listed in your second post.

      I'm not shilling, I'm just confused and can't decide which gun should I get.

        Assuming you can get optics/mount for the svd dovetail easily it is a fine choice. You can shoot shitty machine gun ammo through it but the gun will do better further out with better ammo which you should probably have access to

          If you really want to hunt with it and have magazine restrictions you can simply use it without a magazine and chamber single rounds if you really had to

          Yep, I can get them.

          You're comparing lemons to oranges. If you want an svd get one. If you want the bolt action just get another brand as zaatava is shit.

          That's the problem, I can't decide if I want a bolt-action or semi-auto, both have their own pros and cons and I can't figure out which suites be best.

          I heard rumors that rimmed cartridges have not so tight fitting in the chamber and it significantly affects accuracy, but not sure if it's true.

            The SVD is fine unless you need specific modern hunting bullets for it, which isn't happening unless you reload

                You can also load .308 bullets for it if you're into reloading, the accuracy isn't affected much IME. You get more choice of projectiles that way

          Good, now take your milsurp and put it in a vise and shoot a group with your best ammo. You're not gonna shoot better than that. Hence, you're not outshooting the rifle

    I got a zastava mini mouser in .223. Decent gun but warning the adjustable trigger is not drop safe on anything other than the heaviest trigger weight.
