The Story

Vepr 1 V

The Vepr-1 is Molot's hunting-configured rifle on the heavy RPK receiver — built for serious big-game hunters in the vast Russian wilderness, where shooters routinely face boar, bear, and elk.

The combination of an indestructible action and a powerful full-size cartridge makes it a favorite of professional Russian hunters working in conditions where rifle failure is not an option.

Full-power rifle cartridges in a semi-auto AK platform deliver an experience that's pure Russian — heavy, authoritative, and unstoppable. The recoil is significant but very manageable thanks to the long-stroke piston soaking up the impulse.

"Vepr" (Вепрь) means wild boar in Russian — fitting for a rifle designed to take down the toughest game in Eastern Europe and Siberia.

From the range

What our visitors say.

Real feedback from guests who fired this weapon at our Riga range.

★★★★★

“The Vepr-1 V is the most accurate AK-platform rifle I've ever fired. The heavy barrel makes a real difference — groupings at 25 metres were tighter than I expected from a gas-operated carbine.”

Nikolaj B. · Minsk
★★★★★

“I asked the instructor what set the Vepr apart from the standard AK-47 and the answer became clear after the first magazine — smoother, more accurate, noticeably less felt recoil. A true step up.”

Anna F. · Riga
★★★★★

“Molot's manufacturing quality is immediately apparent. The action feels tighter and the barrel is visibly heavier than the AK-47 we'd fired earlier. An excellent rifle that rewards accuracy-focused shooting.”
