Whats /k/s opinion of the Molot Vepr in 7.62x54R? It seems like a decent middle ground.

It's very well build. Not a nail driver by any means. I can get about 2.5-3 MOA with surplus ammo but I also didn't graduate top of my class in the Navy Seals. The RPK receiver its build on and the wood furniture adds a bit of weight. I did a good amount of hiking with it this winter doing coyote hunting tournaments, and it had my shoulders and arms were feeling it by the end of the hunt. To lighten it up I put magpul furniture on it which takes a bit of cutting the plastic and swapping the OEM barrel clamp bolts for longer ones, but it can be done pretty easily.
Overall its a good less expensive alternative to a SVD or PSL to eat up your nugget food.

it's heavy as hell, mags suck, and best I've gotten is around 2 MOA accuracy as finding not-shit 54r ammo in the US is hard (and the cheap shit stuff is hard to find now too). It's one of my favorite rifles, just feels great to shoot.
It's poorly constructed, inaccurate, and unreliable trash. Anyone who says otherwise is objectively stupid.

>inaccurate
Literally twice as accurate as a FAL
I want one.
It would be so much better if it took PSL or SVD mags
Wow, but theyre reliable, yea?

Mine didn't like brass cased ammo at all.
