If anyone is sure that the expeditionary rifle comes in .308 let me know. I don't think they do. The Vepr is an outstanding rifle, but go with the FAL. The reason I say this is because you can get hi-caps at a good price, and they are very abundant.
The Vepr is accurate, reliable, and rugged, but no hi-caps! If they had made it to work with a known hi-cap, I would have me a battle rifle.
