If you pay $2000 for a RS SVD in Canada these days, you're paying more than you need to.

As for the QBU-88, can't say, I don't think anyone outside of RS knows the price yet. It does reuse the Type 97 Series gearbox, so in theory there should be some saving in developmental cost and that should translate to a somewhat curtailed price.

Incidentally, it is like the SVD in that it's a special order item. So's the SAW variant.

It's a nice gun, solid like all other RS guns and very intimidating. Wasn't that big on the scope, eye relief was a little short when you account for goggles. Also, not being that big a fan of bullpups, the SVDs felt better in my hands.
