FEG HD-18 Dragunov SVD Sniper 7.62×54R — 24.5” Semi-Auto Rifle (2024)
This FEG HD-18 (Hungarian Dragunov-18) is a contemporary, factory-built Dragunov-style semi-automatic sport rifle chambered in 7.62×54R, featuring a 24.5” threaded barrel, factory FEG PSzO-1M2 scope, and a foam-lined hard case with accessories.

Our Assessment
The FEG HD-18 is a modern Hungarian production that faithfully captures the ergonomics and utility of the classic Dragunov design while offering contemporary manufacturing and materials: hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrel and a solid one-piece steel receiver. This example is in Fine Plus to Excellent condition with a bright bore and nearly full original finish. With a factory PSzO-1M2 scope installed and a comprehensive accessory package, it represents a strong, range-ready package and a desirable option for collectors and shooters seeking a modern SVD-style rifle that is transferable in California in its current configuration.
Historical / Context Note
Modeled after the Soviet SVD, the HD-18 is a modern sporting iteration produced by FEG Hungary. FEG uses contemporary production methods—solid steel receivers, hammer-forged chrome-lined barrels, and factory-matched optics—to deliver a durable, accurate rifle that retains the classic Dragunov profile and handling characteristics.
