    Welcome to the group !!!

    The Super Vepr .308 is a fairly rare rifle, and to be honest I don't remember ever seeing a review on one.

    That said, it is on my short list of must buys. I too would like to hear first hand accounts of life with one, and where to get affordable magazines.

    I got a super vepr .308. I think I have posted pics of it somewhere in another forum. If you want I can post more pics of it.

    I have never had any issues with mine. The only drawback is the weight and the trigger pull. I have ventilated the gas tube on it as the darn thing threw the casings into another zip code. They are very accurate with the right ammo. Mine has shown 1 moa with the nato sniper ammo. Worst 100m grouping I have had was in the 3" area using Sellier Belliot ammo. Another thing, it mess up the spend brass. You can reload them, but they got some bumps and scratches. I full sized some of them and tried them in a Sauer 202. It was impossible to chamber them. There might be individual differences, but I would mark used casing as Vepr only. If I remember right it has a rather slow twist compared to most 308's, I can check that out to be sure.

    Feel free to ask any questions...

    I've wanted one for quite some time.

    Issues I can see would be expensive mags, and it might be a tad heavy with the wood and heavy barrel.

    Other than that? My biggest gripe is I DON'T OWN ONE!
