My Russian Lady

[Urse]

So I just got a new mistress a VEPR 308 w/ Hensoldt Wetzler 4x24 scope. Found her on GB and Bill(Rabbi) at Eastside Gun Shop did the transfer(Thanks Bill). Took her to the range today and I am a happy boy. I actually spent more time answering questions about it than shooting it. I love Kalashnikov's and this one is no exception. Figured I would post a few pics of her and her sister(VEPR K 7.62x39).

Oooo, she sure is purty, and I bet it shoots just as nice as it looks.

The VEPR is a Kalashnikov(AK) based rifle only it is built around a RPK receiver(the light machine gun version of a AK) The receiver i thicker than a standard AK and the front trunnion is also beefier. The barrel is handforged and also thicker than standard. All this adds up to a Kalashnikov rifle that is pretty darn accurate and AK reliable. I have shot 3 inch groups with my 16.5" barreled 7.62x39mm with iron sights at 100 yards(see pic).The 308 version has a 23.25" barrel plus muzzle brake. Like I said I have only been to the range with it once(spent more time talking than shooting) but from first impressions sub 2 MOA should be easily achievable and who knows with the right ammo a 1 MOA Kalashnikov? The Hensoldt(military division of ZEISS) Z24 optic is awesome(I just found a manual online that is not in German) and boy does it make things easier.
