The PSG-1 is said to be the most accurate semi-automatic rifle in the world. Probably the only disadvantage of the PSG-1 is that only the Hendsoldt 6x42 can be fitted to the weapon, and this scope is only good out to 600 meters, the minimum range of engagement for a military sniper. While it is a good sniper rifle, most departments can't afford its high price.
