There was a 54R Norinco on sturm.com not to long ago for $1800. Probably went fast. They tend to be more in the 2.2K-2.5K range.
A Russian SVD would be around 5k plus if you can find one for sale.
The Tiger is a "sporting" version of the SVD. They feature a shorter SVDS barrel, have no flash hider/bayonet lug, have no hood on the front sight and lack the gas adjustment system.
Also, the Tiger rear sight is only calibrated for 300 meters. The forearm is a non military vented style and some models feature the non-military butt stock.
The California Armory Tiger featured the military stocks and flash hider bayonet lug.
FAIK, importation has been stopped on all version of the Tiger/SVD.
Some RKI have theorized at least some of Chinese SVD(NDM-86) were mfg in Russian. However, I've never seen conclusive proof that the Chinese haven't produced the rifle at some point.
I would stay away from the .308 versions.
the wood, cheek rest and finish on the rifle are obviously of local origin.
