FIME Group Molot VEPR VPR-76254-03 Thumbhole Stock 7.62x54mmR Black Rifle

Product: It was...

Product: It was precisely as advertised and in absolute perfect condition. I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about this rifle. Extremely fun rifle and chambered in 54r, i can't think of anything better. Pros: Very clean and performed better than expected straight out of the box. Absolutely everything I expected. So much fun and beautifully accurate straight off the irons. Cons: The magazine's are a bit finicky at first and do not insert very smooth. I imagine this will not be a problem as they get worn in a bit. They do fit rather snug fresh out of the box. The magazine design themselves make for a somewhat cumbersome load process. For anyone who has used/owned the Mosin Archangel stock, do not expect the rounds to load as easily as they do for the Mosin. With that said, it still did not impact my love for the rifle, however, if speed is important to you for re-loading the empty magazine you will likely find this a minor setback. Bi-pod installation, I have not yet found a bi-pod that will fit the recessed sling mount plug. I have looked around online and found plenty of sound advice on make and model of bipod to acquire. Do not expect to walk in to an academy and buy a bi-pod off the shelf and have it fit properly. The way the sling attachment is designed for this rifle is not your typical sling mount that you would find on a typical american hunting rifle. The swivel sits recessed into the barrel shroud which will require a more streamline mounting system on the bi-pod. Again, this is a minor problem and solutions are out there on the web. Budsgunshop.com: Nothing but the best when dealing with Buds, I will never do business with anyone else. Buds went above and beyond to ensure that my purchase was delivered fast so that i could enjoy it for Father's Day at the range with my own Dad. They made sure everything was processed and completed so that it would arrive an extra day early. I could never say enough nice things about Budsgunshop.
