So I've been looking at the 5.45 for a long time. I plan on doing a 223 one day, but the over all affordabilty of the 545 round is really a decieding factor. So in my search for a Siaga 545, I found one non converted for 299..and on the same sight a Vepr 545 with laminate wood thumbhole stock for 745...I figure by the time, pay Shipping FFL transfer and then Parts and Shipping for conversion I'm looking at the same price. If I go with the S545, I probably wont go wood or laminate..but I can't say it doesn't look damn fine on the Vepr. So any reason I should choose a Siaga over the Vepr?
