In 1995, a team of designers from the Molot machine-building plant, which is located in the city of Vyatskie Polyany, developed a new self-loading carbine. They called their creation SOK-94 “Vepr” - an ideal hunting carbine for hunting wild boar in winter.

The basis for the hunting rifle was taken light machine gun Kalashnikov. The differences between it and Veprem are small.

The main differences between the Vepr carbine

The main differences are the absence of a self-timer, as well as a change in the shape of the trigger and sear.

From the Vepryu RPK he got high reliability and the ability to operate the carbine in a wide variety of conditions. For example, the temperature range for using SOK-94 ranges from -50 to +50 degrees Celsius.

Recharging occurs automatically. The muzzle of the barrel is equipped with a permanent flash suppressor.

To increase operational safety, the carbine is equipped with a safety catch.

For long-range shooting there is a special bracket on which the optical sight is mounted.

The target firing range of the “Vepr” is up to 300 meters. The butt of the carbine is orthopedic, made of walnut and bamboo, and has a cutout for the thumb.

The total weight including the magazine is no more than 4.3 or 4.7 kilograms. The SOK-94 caliber is 7.62 millimeters, various cartridges are used.

Many Russian hunters have long been using the products of a machine-building plant called “Molot”. Three-line and self-loading shotguns from the “Bekas” series, Simonov hunting rifles, smooth-bore, as well as semi-automatic rifled models from the “Vepr” line - all these are the brainchild of the plant located in Vyatskie Polyany. One of the first samples he released was the Vepr-308 carbine, the price of which depends on the design.

History of creation

2010 marked seven decades since the founding of the Molot machine-building plant. It was created during the Great Patriotic War for the mass production of Shpagin submachine guns - PPSh. In peacetime, in parallel with weapons, other products came out of the machines, from washing machines to skates.

With the onset of the nineties of the last century, Soviet industry began to decline. Did not escape this fate and defense industry. Therefore, in order to survive, “Molot” switched to large-scale production of weapons for hunting. The Ministry of Defense has reduced its orders for rifle models. And therefore, arms factories had to adapt their production lines, which produced military products, to civilian products. Izhmash was the first to decide on this, followed by the one located in Kirov region"Hammer". Taking the famous AK as a basis, the designers created their own model - a self-loading carbine that fires a cartridge of the same size. The model was named “Vepr”.

Already in 1994, Russian hunters had a chance to get acquainted with a new gun, manufactured initially for the 7.62x39 cartridge, and a little later - for the .308Win cartridge. Over time, it began to be produced in various calibers and designs.

general information

The first Vepr-308 was as similar as possible to the RPK. Only changed firing mechanism, in which the self-timer was eliminated, and new forms of the trigger, sear and retention elements were designed. The Vepr-308 carbine has a long fore-end without a top pad and an orthopedic butt.

Its barrel bore is chrome plated. It is made by cold forging. The Vepr-308 carbines have a strengthened locking unit and a slightly modified gas exhaust unit. Thanks to its long barrel, as well as a receiver made of one and a half millimeter thick, and reliable locking, the Vepr-308 is as close as possible to its main competitor, the Izhevsk Tiger.

Specifications

Fans most often choose the Vepr-308 carbine, the price of which starts at twenty-three thousand rubles. It is usually used in driven hunting, which takes place from a number or from an ambush. The reason is that the dimensions and weight of the Vepr-308 carbine make running shooting somewhat difficult. He has no problems with accuracy. Experienced hunters shoot well with it even at a distance of about three hundred meters.

The magazine of this carbine is box-shaped, removable, designed for seven or ten rounds. Vepr-308 weighs about 4.1 kilograms with a length of one thousand two hundred millimeters. When compared with analogues, the Tiger, for example, is a little shorter - ten centimeters.

The initial speed of the bullet is 830 m/sec. The discrepancy when firing domestically produced cartridges from one hundred meters is no more than seven centimeters.

Advantages

Like many domestic shotguns, the entire line of this carbine, including one of best models- “Vepr-308 Super” is reliable and unpretentious both in maintenance and operation. It is perfect for both fishermen and hobbyists. It has a lot of advantages, including the fact that the Vepr-308, the price of which is somewhat high compared to analogues from other manufacturers, is as similar in components and parts to a light machine gun as possible. From his prototype, he inherited a powerful box and the barrel itself, which is quite heavy, and a rear sight with an insertion mechanism for lateral corrections.

The butt of the Vepr-308 Super carbine is of the orthopedic “Dragunov” type with a rubber butt pad. Thanks to the height of the comb, it is possible to use both mechanical and optical types of sights equally well.

Performances

These carabiners are available in several versions. The first was the SOK-94 model, produced under 7.62×39 cartridges. It is still used today in the paramilitary and guard units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The second model SOK-95 “Vepr-308”, the price of which on sale starts from twenty-seven thousand rubles depending on the configuration, was produced under the 7.62×51 cartridge. It is still quite popular among hunters today.

Many models were discontinued, for example, SOK-95 MS "Vepr-Super-Sport". Today, only one version from this line is produced. This is SOK-95 M “Vepr-308 Super”, the price of which starts from thirty-one and a half thousand rubles.

Judging by the reviews, this hunting rifle has good balance and a silent safety. It is trouble-free, but most importantly, it is lighter than its predecessors. Apparently, this is why today many hunters choose this particular carbine.

"Vepr-308 Super"

Unlike the previous ones, this version has a number of significant features. For the first time, instead of a forearm and butt, it features a solid stock made of beech or walnut. This greatly changed the carbine, which turned out to be more aesthetically pleasing and streamlined, combining good ergonomic characteristics.

The new model has become more convenient both in handling and transportation. At the same time, it has increased rigidity in the barrel-box system. This is an important factor, since even a one and a half millimeter magazine box chambered for the 7.62x51 cartridge does not provide the desired performance. At the same time, a partial increase in the mass of the butt is compensated by a decrease in the weight of some parts.

In addition, the Vepr-308 Super, the price of which starts at thirty-three thousand rubles, is made with a more powerful barrel, which made it possible to reduce vibrations when shooting and improve accuracy.

Equipment

The practice of hunting with this weapon has shown that the overwhelming majority of hunters use it. Based on this circumstance, the designers made some changes. They reduced the aiming line and moved the front sight block to the gas chamber. This was enough for shooting at a distance of three hundred meters and increasing the viewing angle.

"Vepr-308 Super", the price of which depends on the configuration, can be equipped with an optical sight straight from the factory. Usually it is equipped with four-fold optics. Those hunters who want to install another sight on their carbine buy weapons without add-ons. It's much cheaper. The optics are mounted on the side, the same as on the AK, on ​​the basis of which, in fact, the Vepr-308 was produced, the price of which depends on the configuration.

How much can you buy it for?

The cost of models produced by the Molot plant has a fairly wide range. For example, the Vepr-308 carbine VPO-127 version 03 with a folding stock can be purchased for 29,869 rubles. The cheapest model is SOK-95L. It can be purchased for 25,200 rubles.

Nevertheless, the most popular among hunters today is the Vepr Super-308 carbine. The price for it depends on the configuration. Basic models cost a little less than thirty thousand rubles. In any case, the cost depends on the configuration, stock material, the presence of an optical sight and other add-ons that can be installed on the Vepr-308.

Many hunters have been dreaming of buying a hunting rifle for years. This weapon is much more serious and clearly indicates the professionalism of its owner, because a novice hunter has no need for such a tool. Let's consider one of the most popular options - Vepr 308 SOK 95.

Vepr 308 (or SOK 95) - weapon features

The Vepr 308 carbine is famous for being created on the basis of the Kalashnikov machine gun. This means that this weapon resembles a combat weapon in many ways. In particular, there is trouble-free shooting, reliability of all structural elements, and the ability to work even in extreme conditions.

But manufacturers had to make some changes to the semi-automatic carbine so that it could be used as a hunting rifle. Firstly, the locking unit has been strengthened, and now you can only fire single shots. In addition, durability has been increased (the chamber, piston, barrel bore, gas chamber elements are chrome-plated), the stock has been improved, etc.

Technical characteristics of Vepr-308

Main characteristics of Vepr-308:

  • Caliber - 7.62x51
  • Barrel length is 590 mm
  • Total length - 1105 mm

  • The magazine holds 5 or 10 cartridges
  • Weight - 4.1 kg.

The Vepr-308 carbine is self-loading weapons, the work of which is carried out thanks to the energy of powder gases.

Concerning sighting devices, then there is a rear sight with side screws for adjustment, with which you can set the firing distance to 100, 200 or 300 m, as well as a front sight directly in front of the flash hider, the location of which can be changed not only vertically, but also horizontally.

The fuse here is of the flag type, and the fasteners for optics are fixed exclusively on the side.

As you can see, the advantages of the weapon are quite significant. And if someone is wondering which Boar is better to buy, the answer is obvious - this one!

But there are also disadvantages to the carbine:

  • the weapon is quite heavy
  • imperfect balance
  • the gas chamber is difficult to disassemble
  • the wooden elements of the structure are not very nicely processed
  • an open sight is susceptible to malfunctions due to mechanical contact with plants, various surfaces, etc.

Review from a real user about the Vepr-308 carbine

I chose this semi-automatic carbine after weighing all its advantages in quality and price. The 590 mm barrel caught my eye because I practice hunting from a storage shed, sometimes in a room. I didn’t shoot the carbine at a target, so I can’t say in numbers how accurate it is. But there has not yet been a single animal that I have missed.

I tried different optics, but practice shows that maximum range shooting range in Russian forests is no more than 200 m. Due to the fact that after transportation it needs to be adjusted again, I decided to temporarily abandon optics. In order to hunt bears and wild boars from the towers, I purchased an additional night light. This element clearly has weak fastenings, so I strengthened them myself.

During all its use, the carabiner failed only once - then the edge became jammed brass sleeve, which led to the cartridge jamming. The cartridge was made by the Novosibirsk plant. I don’t buy them anymore (I prefer Barnaul ones with steel sleeves), so there are no failures.

Another drawback is that a crack formed on the base of the stock during use. But these are all little things and flaws in the assembly. Overall, the weapon is excellent and completely satisfactory. I don't regret purchasing it at all.
