If its an actual Russian SVD(not a romanian or some other knock off) and the scope is the russian(or the IOR for that matter). And if it is in decent shape, then yes, thats not a bad price. I've seen fairly beat ones, 60 to 70%cond, go for about that.

Oh, and are they worth it? IMO, no. I'm no fan of AK's and I've used alot of them(probably why I'm not a fan) If I were to buy one A belgian would be my pick. SVD might be second. The 54R hits pretty hard, not real accurate though.
