I have both. The short barrel VEPR and a new SAM7 carbine I just bought.
Of the two I shoot the VEPR more. Just a great gun. I would most definately ask do you intend to do anything IE put a new stock set on your ak or add a bayo?? If so the Arsenal is the way you want to go. The VEPR is made for nothing but shooting. It is very accurate and very well made....but so is the sam7. I would say you should start out with an arsenal. Milled reciever, great finish, threaded barrel, bayo lug. all the nice things you want on an AK. |

I am stuck on the same question also. For my next AK i was thinking about the VEPR K or the SAM 7 carbine. I still couldn't make up my mind.
The price difference seems to be an factor for me (or i would just get both!he i am leaning towards the VEPR K, because its based on the RPK receiver with a beefier front trunion than the Arsenal ak's......but the down side is that you end up with a bastard AK/RPK/???...and repalcement parts are no where to be found..... I have heard nothing but good feed back on how beefie and accurate the VEPR's are.....i am wondering, all the 7.62 Arsenal owners out there, what kind of grouping are you guys getting? i need help on this too |

If and when I do get one, I don't plan on putting a scope on it or changing out the furniture. It looks like the SAM7 Carbine is the way to go! Off to the gun store
 Ya right, maybe sometime after Christmas, just can't get over how much I spent on my M4 and I want to get more stuff for it. I think I am going to call the CDC and tell them I have the Black Rifle Disease, maybe they have a cure for it.

I have the SAM7 SF R witha Kobra sight. I love it. Using WOLF ammo I fired 40 rds into the head of a silouette at 50 yards all inside the 5 ring. I was firing 3 shot rapid bursts. Even though I was the only one on the range, the range master got pissed off about the rapid fire. He was late in warning me because I was already finished shooting. |

I own a Vepr K and a SLR 101 (sam 7 for the poorer of us) and love them both THe Vepr is the more accurate of these 2 rifles but you would not be dissapointed with either weapon.

Either.
I went with a SAM7SF. If the look is ok for you, I find the VEPR ergonomics to be great. |

Thats right, you should see the rest of it, looks better then new when I bought it 01 Dodge. When I spend money I take care of my things. Like my Arsenal.

I have both. I like my Arsenal better. It is lighter than the VEPR-II and it looks more like the traditional AK.

Kinda OT, but I just bought a new Toyota Tacoma. And God!! I love that truck. It has a composite bed liner that's super strong, I got the grey intertior and super white paint. I'm a clean freak about the inside of it too. The bed looks the same whether dirty or clean so it's no hassle to keep it clean. Nice to see a painted bed, now adays so many people have liners put in. I remember when people took care of thier paint jobs in the bed of thier truck. And yours is a prime example. |

I own a Vepr K and I like it, but my next AK is going to be an Arsenal milled. I believe they are the two best made AK's out there today. It just depends on what you want in each rifle to determine which is "better". They are both great IMO.

I actually traded one of the members here a SAM7 Carbine for a 5.56mm VEPR K. Before I get crucified let me explain that I already had a SAM7S as well so that's why I traded the Carbine.
That being said, the SAM7 Carbine was sweet. The VEPR is very heavy but it is extremely accurate. I have never fired a 7.62x39mm VEPR though, so can't comment on it. |
