Mixing it up at the range

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Took the 308 Vepr to the range for the first time. Since I didn’t have the lowest rings available, the gun could have used a cheek rest. Even so, the nice 2.5-10x scope worked really well at 50 yards. Rain … Continue reading →

Combination guns

Posted on May 11, 2012 by Oleg Volk
