The FEG HD-18 is a modern production Hungarian Dragunov-pattern semi-automatic rifle, built as a near-exact clone of the original Soviet SVD platform. Chambered in 7.62x54R, it features a long-stroke gas-operated system with a rotating bolt, a 24.4" chrome-lined barrel & a distinctive skeletonized thumbhole stock. Designed as a designated marksman rifle, the HD-18 combines military heritage with modern enhancements such as a threaded muzzle for suppressor compatibility, adjustable gas system & compatibility with standard SVD optics like the PSO-1 scope. Its stamped steel receiver, side optics rail & Kalashnikov-style controls maintain authenticity while offering practical long-range capability for collectors, enthusiasts & precision shooters. The HD-18 is widely regarded for its reliability & consistent performance, inheriting the proven durability of the Dragunov system. Its gas-operated design ensures dependable cycling even under adverse conditions, while the precision barrel is capable of delivering approximately 1.5-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition. The rifle balances semi-automatic speed with designated marksman precision, making it effective for engagements out to extended distances. FEG, a historic Hungarian manufacturer with roots dating back to the 19th century, is known for producing high-quality military & sporting arms & the HD-18 reflects that legacy with strong build quality, authentic design & excellent overall effectiveness as both a shooter & collector-grade rifle.
