Finally got to bring home a rifle I've have been wanting for a very long time. Knowing Ill never be able to afford a real SVD Dragunov this is gonna be as close as Ill probably come to owning one of my own, and everything I've read about them they sure don't disappoint in person. Cant wait to get the initial review video done and uploaded on my channel about it, but I don't think I've ever been so excited for a new gun and just had to share. After talking with a fellow INGOr that had one of these it pretty much cemented in the fact I was gonna finally get one after putting it off for so long, like everything else Russian firearm wise they seem to be going up in price so I figured it was now or never. I think the one thing that caught me kind of by surprise was how light the rifle is out of the box, I guess given the size of the round I figured the rifle would be heavier. I will say all the reviews and the literature I've read on these is correct they look and feel like a quality piece. the finish is amazing and the stock set is very nice all be it a little short in the LOP department (this will be changed out for a SVD stock set at some point) Anyone else shoot a VEPR, how do you like yours?...........
