the dragonuv tiger is the russian made one completely different than the romanian one.more presice and a bit more delicate but more accurate.600 bucks was like they where giving that gun to you.the bores are always good because they don`t put alot of bullets down range and the bore is chrome lined, if you can even find a russian tiger and that is a big if, they start even beat up at over 4k.it was more like 10k imported but i have not heard of one being sold or saw one in years and years they are all in the back of some guys safe with him knowing he has gold on his hand. My dragonuv is rare and worth money but a tiger makes it look like a piece of garbage worth nothing.it is a shame you did not pick that gun up.what a piece of history that gun has.in russia in ww2 they had 1,500 women snipers who had so many german kills they where given a mosin nagant 91/30 the real long ones.i used to buy them for 35 bucks a pop brand new,back on subject.91/30 with a simple 4x pu scope and these women where the best shots and out of the 1,500 only 500 or so lived and they told their stories but the woman had a tiger and said it was the finest weapons ever made.if you are interested about the women snipers in russia they show it on the military history channel or you can go on the website and order it.very interesting.sorry to hear you did not pic it up.i know exactly what it looks like but it would be nice to see a picture of someone really having one.i have many rare and unusual collectible firearms but i have been searching for one,hoping it was in a grandfathers closet and the grandson who knew nothing about guns wants 400 bucks for it.believe me things like that are out there
