HISTORY
There is a scoped variant of the SVT-40. Because the scope mount blocks the iron sights in the game it does not have a crosshair when the scope is not used like all rifles without scopes have.
It was decided that the SVT-40 would be used as the Red Armies sniper rifle in April of 1940, replacing the Mosin-Nagant M91/30 PU and therefore the production of the bolt action Mosin would be halted. The SVT-40 was a competent sniper rifle but was plagued by problems with first shot inaccuracy. It was found in testing that a 10 to 15 cm discrepancy was evident in patterns fired at 100 meters. The "flyer" consistently being the first shot. It was determined that the barrel shifted longitudinally along with the receiver. Further stock work did not alleviate the problem.
