   The outer sighting devices of the rifle consist of a foresight that is adjustable in two planes and a two-position reversible sight for 100 and 300m.
     The foresight is combined with the gas chamber. On the barrel muzzle there is a slotted muzzle brake. For lightening the gun and advancing the terms of barrel cooling while shooting there are lengthwise grooves on the barrel surface.
   On the sight bottom side surfaces and on the receiver rear part there are mounting bases for fastening the upper scope mount looking like Weaver rail.

   The rifles "Vepr-Pioneer" belong to a semi-auto weapons class. The automatic reloading is effected due to use of the energy of powder gases moved from the bore into the gas chamber while shooting and thanks to the energy of the return spring.
   The hammer-type firing mechanism is on a jettisonable base; it provides shooting by single shots and saving the gun.
   The safety device is a button-type one. To avoid an inertial pinhole of the primer the firing-pins of the bolts are spring-loaded. The stocks are made out of the walnut. For convenient shooting the butt-stock has a jaw and a paddy rubber butt. Bore and chamber, gas chamber and shaft with the bolt carrier piston are chrome-lined.
