[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1043292, member: 8873"] Not trying to be a know it all, however the rifle in question is probably an Iraqi Al-Kadesih (haven't seen the movie). Their version of the SVD, it's similar but not the same. I'm sure there are some Dragunovs floating around in Iraq, but not the norm. I have shot several of each and can tell you they are very capable rifles out to some great ranges, even with the limited power optics most are fielded with. Tank, Again I'm no expert but have two Mosin Nagant rifles that fire the 7.62x54R cartridge and they are fun cheap rifles to shoot with ballistics similar to a .308/mild-ish 30-06. However I don't think I would choose one over an '06. I have wondered what one necked up to something along the lines of a .35 or .375 cal could do. But as far as improving the case, only one way to find out. Especially if it fired the more prevalent .308 cal bullets as you stated. [/QUOTE]
