>>731453I'm thinking of buying either a Henry Rifle or a VEPR. The Henry in .44 magnum or .45 colt should be powerful to let me kill any north american predator that comes at me and the best part of that is I could easily get a handgun in those calibers.
The VEPR is just a super-reliable firearm; the receiver of the russian RPK put into a hunting rifle should be able to withstand any dirt, snow, etc. that I'd have to deal with for extended trips at the cost of being a bit heavier. It seems like Atlantic Firearms has VEPR and I'd like to pick one up while they are still being imported from Russia, I'm just not sure which to go with. Atlantic sells stock models, a knock-off by Arsenal with SVD-style furniture, a "rare" carbine version they claim was shipped to them from Molot ( Russian company behind the VEPR ) and a "tactical" version ( pic related ) they make themselves based off of a stock model. I think I'd most likely get the carbine if I were to get one; but I'd only do that after confirming it is one of Molot's rifles from Molot themselves.
