I'm looking into getting one and just wanted to see how they were working for folks.

I have only fired about 20 rounds in mine, but will give my first impression of it. The recoil impulse is much lighter and smoother than I anticipated. I am not great with iron sights, but my first 2 shots were touching one another at 20 yards in a dark indoor range. I would imagine that rested and scoped these weapons will be impressive given their price range. Mine was the V02 with integrated sight. It is a work in progress. Optic is next. I love it and want a couple more of them.

Can a 6.5" Saiga 12 reliably run cheap birdshot in MD-20 drums? This one can....

That's the one currently $699 at CFS isn't it? Is that a welded cap at the end of the barrel?

Welded blind pin. Easy to remove though.

Not a fan of AAC. I should have bought an Ops Inc.

Some of the longer barreled ones are in, do yall think a couple more inches in the barrel is worth a couple hundred $ when it comes to .308?

Perhaps I didn't pull those two rounds after all. Did the "ARFCOM 1 MOA All Day Challenge"
Shot 5 more groups at 50yds and got about 3.852 MOA with this ammunition. |

sitting at 33 yards i got a three shot group (just sighting in) at about 2 inches. my first group was rough though, they were all flyers .
with how i slap the trigger im ok with that, it should only get better as my shooting improves. now i just have to get a scope and stretch it out |

Long time lurker...
Soo close to pulling the trigger on this. Any updates, thoughts or insight I'm missing for not having bought yet? |

I am picture retarded at the moment but I put a us palm grip on it, a nato length stock from kvar, a 6x psop, and a tapco birdcage.
The iron sights were just about dead on. just had to tweak elevation. It hasn't jammed yet with Russian cheap stuff, or Remington hunting rounds. I cant give you any real accuracy report, i haven't taken it past 25 yds for sight in. I could get most of the rounds to touch that close though. I haven't gotten rid of the wood for end even though it is cracked. I just sprayed it with some black truckbed liner to give it better grip. cspec mags are the only way to go. overall its pretty sweet. " /> |

I just got back from the range today. I was sighting in my Vepr Hunter. With Cheap Chinese ammo, it shot pretty good. The groups would vary due to the ammo. However, once I put in the 170 grain BTHP, things got real interesting. I had a five shot group at 100 yards that was close to sub MOA. I shot for a couple of hours and began to get tired and the groups began to open.
With American Eagle 150 FMJ BT, I did pretty good as well. No problems with the gun. Sorry no pics but I was very pleased. I was using a Weaver 3x15 tactical scope and Burris Rings.. |

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Good judgement comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. |

Does anyone know if the Vepr mags would work in a .308 Chinese NDM-86? I can't find those mags anywhere and these Vepr mags look pretty close to the 86 mags.

Who has .308 VEPRs in stock? I haven't been able to find one, only in 7.62x54r.

the bottom bolt lug hits the shoulder of the next round upon extraction
the case then hits the edge of the dustcover my vepr brass is rather banged up down loading the magazine so the rounds are under less pressure helps the shoulder hit |

My 54R vepr isn't that hard on brass. The necks some times get a little bent or I see a line in the shoulder. nothing a good fire forming cant take care of.
the extracting is rather harsh. I have had some bullets ripped out of the case by cycling them trough the action. granted they where not crimped in tight but still pulled the bullets out. |
