Finally got my VEPR away from the FFL holder. Went straight to the range, unpacked, dissembled, cleaned and shot. Was shooting Port. surplus and can see I won't be shooting as many rounds at a time as the AR. Thumbhole did not hurt my left hand and wood was about the same quality of a Savage.Gruuuunch...bang,gruuuunch bang, not an easy trigger to get used to.Got about 5 inch groups at 100yds. One thing- some cratering on the primers, 100 rds. and no failures or problems. Should I be wary?
