I've got an offer to pick up a .308 VEPR with a 23" barrel.  I'm hoping to get into a heavy caliber at an affordable price (SCAR is out of my budget LOL) to do some mid-range shooting and once or twice a year compete in the "Heavy" division of Run n Gun matches (run 5-10 miles through the woods, carrying all your gear and ammo, engaging anywhere from 5-8 stages set up similar to a 3 Gun match).

Seller describes the VEPR as excellent condition, "square-back", and with type-2 sights in the gas block. I don't know much more about it yet and I'm completely new to the platform.  I'm hoping you fine arfcom folks can help me out with a couple questions.


  • Can you see anything unusual about the rifle?

  • What kind of questions should I be asking the seller?

  • Any known quirks of this rifle I need to be aware of?

  • Can you help me with an approximate valuation (no scope or rings included)

  • I've heard these have fragile extractors and getting replacements is very hard and always expensive. Anything else?



Thanks!
