Anyone have a VEPR 223 yet?


Recommended Posts

I'm curious about how accurate they are. I'd like one, but won't spend the money if the accuracy is no better than a Saiga. If I spent more money to get the same accuracy as a less expensive Saiga I may as well run for politcal office.

I too have a RobArms Vepr II in .223 and it easily is the most accurate AK variant I have owned. I have had groups at one MOA or less with Winchester white box Q3131 ammo, scoped and bench-rested. You can examine a Vepr closely and see the tolerances are tighter and the quality is better than a Saiga or Bulgarian Arsenal rifle. They are heavy compared to the Saiga or Arsenal, but that is the only disadvantage that comes to mind.

Just a quick tip on the older RobArms Vepr rifles in .223. They will use .223 AK Promags (yes, I know I said Promags) like they were made just for this rifle. I've got six Promags for my Vepr and none has had any feed/ quality issues whatsoever and that rifle has been used several times in 3-gun matches. I cannot say for certain about them working in the latest import of Vepr rifles so your miles may vary.

Got an email from Texas AK Designs and they said their AR-15 mag adapter will work on the VEPR with a little modification. Now if Ironwood designs has a wood stock that would be great.

 

We are also currently working on a version of the BASTARD for this rifle with a new railed handguard and stock adapter. VEPRs offer a solid base to build from and we envision it to be a real contender against the AR.

I shot a Vepr 7.62x39 and my Saiga of the same caliber and found the Vepr was much more accurate. I'd bet a .223 would more than rival the average AR.

 

My saigas rival most average AR's. So the VEPR may top above average AR's.
