CENTURY ARMS VSKA

Posted Jun 15, 2023

The Century Arms VSKA is a semi-automatic rifle that has been gaining a lot of popularity lately due to its durability, accuracy, and affordability. When it comes to firearms, the VSKA is designed to provide the user with an accurate, reliable, and powerful shooting experience. The VSKA is made with Romanian parts and has a unique design that includes a ribbed handguard, classic AKM front sight, and an enhanced trigger. The VSKA is also chambered in 7.62x39mm and uses AK magazines.

As a firearm enthusiast, I have been intrigued by the VSKA for quite some time and have been contemplating buying one for a while. After doing some research, I decided to take the plunge and pick up a VSKA for myself. After having it now for a couple of months, I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great semi-auto rifle.

The first thing you will notice when unboxing the VSKA is its design. I love the look of the rifle; it’s simple but very attractive. The gun has a black phosphate finish that gives it a classic military look. It also features a ribbed handguard, classic AKM front sight, and an enhanced trigger. The VSKA is also very lightweight, only weighing in at 6.6 pounds, which makes it easy to carry for long periods of time.

The next thing I noticed when I opened up the box is how sturdy and solid the VSKA feels. The combination of its five-piece design and steel components gives the gun a very solid and durable feel that is hard to replicate. This is especially important for a rifle like the VSKA as it will be used for heavy-duty use such as plinking and hunting. The receiver and barrel of the VSKA are also chrome lined, which makes it even more durable and provides a bit more corrosion protection.

When it comes to accuracy, the VSKA does not disappoint. Out of the box, I was able to get consistent groups of 2-3 inches at 100 yards. The gun is also very forgiving of ammo and I have had no issues with different types of ammo, both steel and brass. The trigger is also very smooth and breaks very cleanly with no creep, which helps with accuracy.

Another great thing about the VSKA is its affordability. With a price tag of around $500, it is a very budget-friendly rifle that will not break the bank. It also comes with everything you need to get started (minus the ammo) and starts shooting right out of the box. This makes it great for those who are just getting into shooting and are looking for a solid but affordable rifle.

Overall, the Century Arms VSKA has been a great addition to my gun collection and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable semi-automatic rifle. The combination of its unique design, durability and accuracy makes it a great choice for those who are looking for a fun and reliable firearm. The VSKA is also very budget-friendly and is perfect for those looking to get into shooting without breaking the bank. If you are looking for a great semi-automatic rifle at an excellent price, then the VSKA is definitely a great option.
