This is really cool!


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - VASCAR2 - 04-08-2021

Really good looking Vepr. Which barrel length is yours? Eagerly awaiting your range report.


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - TexasSlinger - 04-20-2021

was less than fair. double checked scope mount and various other things
at 50 yd got 3 inch groups so no well at all
[ATTACH=CONFIG]17780[/ATTACH]

barrel is 18 inch


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - Nephilim7 - 04-20-2021

What ammo?


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - TexasSlinger - 05-10-2021

between Hornady 123 gr a-max
when I saw result i switched to wolf 100 gr with same results
this past weekend range trip......

again at 50 yd
scope and mount seem nice and tight just like on my other rifles
combloc russian barrel should be better at 50 yd
maybe groups will tighten up after 500 rd?? (thats a lot of $$)

3 inch group at 50 yd
saiga 223 at 100 yd is max 2-3 inches

So in other words, its shooting as sloppy as most AKs do.

Spray n pray Smile


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - TexasSlinger - 05-11-2021

well, in all fairness I would expect a 762x39 with irons to shoot like this off a bench. add a decent optic and get it out to 100 ok
My Saiga223 shoots a ton more accurate. disappointing to say the least.


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - HuntTXhogs - 05-11-2021

I’ve been through builds like this , for that reason i shoot them stock until I find one with potential and then build it out .

Sorry it isn’t grouping well for ya


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - TexasSlinger - 05-11-2021

yea prol should have don't that but optic mounts availability sucks. one more range trip after I cleaned the barrel good and possibly swap scopes


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - VASCAR2 - 05-11-2021

I’d probably try shooting your Vepr with iron sights. I could shoot my Mini 14 with iron sights as well or better than Mini’s with an optic.


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - TexasSlinger - 05-19-2021

I’ll give irons a try. Looks combat precision is what I’m left with. Really need to stretch to 100 yd

Vepr in 6.5 grendel - VASCAR2 - 05-19-2021

I wonder if your Vepr 6.5/Grendel is way over gassed which might produce more barrel whip just like with the Mini 14/30. There are adjustable gas pistons for Ak’s but I’ve never used them. I’d also look at the barrel crown.

The barrel is crowned as the smith has done for all my ak. i removed the brake with no change as well. The gassing would be something to look into. kns makes a fine adjustable piston. will post with more....

Update 100yd with wolf 110gr [ATTACH=CONFIG]18270[/ATTACH]

What is the barrel twist?

What am I looking at? Looks like 5 in the bullseye and 2 in right field? That's is an improvement!


Vepr in 6.5 grendel - TexasSlinger - 10-06-2021

yes 3 bullseyes , 2 to the right. Still curious on those 2 flyers Wondering ammo, rifle, me, scope. I would guess me.
