I am debating buying an FAL or a VEPR in .308. I want to have a semi-auto in .308 and all I care about is accuracy and price. I will be handloading and want to keep groups less than 1" at 100 yards. I cannot afford an M1A, so that is out of the question. How does the accuracy compare on an FAL and a VEPR? Which ever one is more accurate is the one I'll buy. Thanks in advance.
 
I would venture to say that Robinsons Armament Vepr's are way more accurate than any junky parts FAL you could get for an equivolent price. Maybe the DSA bull barrel model will be more accurate at 300% the cost of the VEPR, but I dont kwow.

I had a Siaga .308 and loved it, great accuracy (just sold it b/c i didnt want to register it, i live in CA, now i have an M1A to replace it, and miss my siaga). The VEPR II at Robinson Armament is one heck of a shooter, and he has paper to prove it (see his sight).
 
While the DSA is more inherently accurate than the VEPR, I'd have to go with the Super VEPR for scope use. The FAL is a BATTLE rifle, with battle sights. The Super VEPR is a SPORTER rifle, and handles a scope MUCH better. They are, of course, fairly decent rifles in their own right. I like'em.
 
I had a 308 Vepr. You will not get 1" groups with it. Mine hated 168gr match ammo. Looked like shotgun patterns. The Vepr shoots well with 150gr military ammo, but it is not in the accuracy league of any AR15 that I have ever owned. A fun gun, but not a tack driver.
 
I'm a FAL owner, I love my FAL (parts gun). I think the Veprs are awesome, however I have my doubts about getting sub 1 inch groups with either gun. Maybe just maybe the Super Vepr. And there are FALs that can do it, but they are going to be DSA, or superb parts guns put together by a quality smith, either of which will cost you just as much as an M1a.

Heck, I can't see 1 inch at 100 yards. :)
 
yep my vepr is minute of baseball accurate at 100 yards
with radway.
It a great machine but i doubt the super is going to much more accurate.
It completes the COM mission a military rifle is designed to handle.

I had some issues getting my scope sighted in.
The Russian scope reticle was cranked way right & down.
I tried discrete shims, large shims and lots of tweeking. Nothing worked until i remembered the russian cosmonaut on Armegedon. ;)
I cold set the scope mount with a 15 inch adjustable wrench!
ding! bore sight matched scope center.

You are not going to be reloading the brass once a vepr is done denting it.

a buddy has a sub moa .308 semi, the SR-25
