Ouch, I was afraid it would cost that much, gonna have to go way down on the wish list for now.

Now if it took Metric Fal magazines, then it would surge back up the list real quick.

Thanks dz.

So what is the difference between a VEPR and a Saiga? Can anyone looking at this educate me please?

I can get one for about $400.00 so I'm curious.
It's the one with the thumbhole stock and the scope comes with it. I think its the 308-2

Thanks

I think that the Vepr is supposed to be the higher quality of the two. Also the Saiga has a monte carlo (rifle style) stock, and the Vepr has a thumbhole.

The standard Vepr (~$700) has a heavier reciever & is reputed to have greater accuracy.
Here is the same vepr vs saiga question on AK-47.net http://www.ak-47.net/akcgi/Forum6/HTML/004417.html

it is supposedly a tad easier to 10 US part convert a saiga to AK form.

So what are extra mags going to cost? Or do these VEPRs accept AK mags?
