iv got the CA SVD semi auto. outa the box it shoots great, 385fps. It's body however is falling apart, nothing stays where it should. It shoots like a $400 gun but doesn't feel like it. The stock wobbles and the front end pin broke first day. I take good care of my guns and they all stay in a gun bag but this one is the most fragle gun I've owned.
if you don't mind pulling back a spring and really want the SVD look go for the king arms SVD. All the others are spendy and cheap.
