Hi and welcome to SimHQ. It's nice to find another who has played Misery

I did not find the Ghillie SVD in the WPP. I grabbed the documents and got out of there. And yes, I did the dismantling a few times, but I had so many spare parts that I rarely used that feature.

Have you finished Misery 2.2 meantime or are you still in the zone? ;-)
The Ghillie SVD is awesome, my favourite weapon with Streloks SG550 and the Saiga.
Later in game you can get a KSVK 12.7, but it's very heavy the ammo is expensive.

No, I got as far as gathering the group to go to Pripyat but stopped playing at that point. So, still in the zone but haven't played in a few months.

I got Strelok's rifle as shown in the thread, and it's a good one. My favorite guns in this run were the SG-550-S Marksman rifle and the Saiga. I used the XM8 quite a bit too because it was so light and has that amazing scope.
