Escort gas blowback SVD for the win. (well G&P with Escort internals actually).
Depends on what you're after - the spring one is really quite accurate. It's just single-shot.

I don't know how an escort system would fare, but the G&P gas version would hit you between the eyes from a mile away if it shot as good as it looked. Unfortunately the gas system - while cool - just doesn't cut it for good accuracy. It's too inconsistent. Also, the lack of a hop-up really doesn't help, but I really believe the inconsistency from the gas would be a problem anyway.

Here are some references for the appearances - the differences are easier to see when it's all side-by-side.





And that M76 mod is the cat's ass.
