WTB: VEPR rifle in 7.62x54R caliber with 23" barrel

Yep, looking for another VEPR, but this time a rifle chambered in 7.62x54R.

Thanks

That's been on my "always wanted, but can't afford" list. Good luck

You might want to look into a Yugo M97, which can also be had in 8mm Mauser, as well as 7.62x54R.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Molot (Vepr) has been having money issues and has been looking for a buyer, without luck, for years now. The only company that even appears to be willing and able to buy them is Kalashnikov (the former Izhevsk). But doing so would then place Molot products under the import ban put in place by the sanctions signed in by BHO, and Molot products are not currently banned from import in the sanctions. So I would say get one while you can, there's a fair chance they may not be around much longer unless Trump repeals the sanctions but he has a lot of higher priories on his plate right now.

That's what I am thinking in regards to buying a VEPR 12 and a VEPR in 7.62x54r. Molot products may not be available for awhile if ever once the current inventory in the U.S. is gone.

I have to admit I'm torn on the 7.62x54R. It is not a caliber that I shoot very often at all. I do have a couple of MN 91/30 rifles and a couple of crates of surplus ammo. However since I shoot a rifle left handed the bolt action Mosin-Nagants are awkward for me at best, then add in my 53 year old eyes and a weird muscle twitch that shows up in my left shoulder now and then and I just don't really enjoy shooting them. I think the VEPR in 7.62x54R could bring some of that higher caliber fun back.
