If you care to read his lengthy text and look at his tiny picture I'd like to know what you guys think about this rifle and why? No, I have no interest in it I am just trying to learn how to spot the real thing. So you're input and knowledge is appreciated.

Re: what about this one? real or fake?
For that money I would want that rifle in hand so I could authenticate it, if it is a Finn marked Soviet PU it's a rare bird. That would be a unrefurbished Soviet PU, rare enough by itself, add the SA and you have something real special. This kind of money would make it a very attractive item to fake, face to face sale only so if I found I was being screwed I could express my displeasure immediately and in a direct fashion. Please in the future no links to live auctions, once they are closed it's OK.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.

I'm saying real. Marcus is a well known collector.

Yes, real. Marcus don't sell anything fake unless he says it is fake. If it is fake or he suspects it is fake he will say so. He has a lot of real snipers like this one.
The rifle is worth the price if you have that much sitting around.
