[ARCHIVED THREAD] - The Super VEPR

Is anyone familiar with these? I've 'heard' that they are fairly accurate. I wouldn't mind someday having a long range reach out and touch someone semiauto, especially one based on the rugged AK action.

Just a thought, why can't they make these puppies take FAL mags? That would make a lot more sense to me, being that those can be had for very little green.

the s-vepr is no more accurate than a standard vepr. it's just a fancy grade.

i believe ak-usa and marc krebs will convert the saiga and vepr .308's to accept fal magazines.

Thanks for the reply, Bob. Do you know how accurate the 308 VEPRs can be (good ammo, scope, shooter)? What rifle would you compare it to accuracy-wise?

Aren't those conversions by Krebs done to allow use of M1A/M14 magazines? I didn't know AKUSA did them, but might want to confirm that it's actually FAL mags being used. I thought there was something with how they fed that made them not useable for that....

All highcap 308 AK conversions I have seen are of the M14 variety, although I would jump on one in FAL mags I it existed.

I don't think it can be reasonably done

PM Plateshooter, he has one locally, hits old extinguisher tanks all day at a few hundred yards. Not shot myself, but recall 2-3" like a FAL group.

The SUPER VEPR is very accurate...1/2 to 3/4 inch easily no prob.

I enjoy the SUPER VEPR more than the SR-25 Stoner I used to have.

The SUPER VEPR does have a fluted heavy barrel....I don't know that the std. VEPR has this barrel settup.

I think something else to consider is the scope mounting capabilities.....the SUPER VEPR has a very good scope/mount base system.....very different from the std. VEPR....I much prefer the SUPER VEPR scope mount/base system.
