RonS Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Looks like Ruger is bringing out a compact bolt gun in 7.62x39. Fun part is that it uses Mini 30 mags. 5, 20 and 30 rds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBKEITH Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) I like the sound of that. I have a CZ 527 carbine chambered in 7.62x39. Shoots very accurate. 7.62x39 is my favorite rifle cartridge. The Ruger is a nice looking rifle. Edited August 30, 2017 by KBKEITH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonS Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I have the CZ 527 FS .223. I wish I could get a 10 round mag for it. To think that you can get a 20 or 30 rounder for the Ruger is tempting. Needs irons though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exit Plan Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 How would this do for white tail deer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Stick Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Its a great cartridge for deer. I would prefer one that took AR mags and in 300 BLK OUT but the x39 is a handy little rifle. Have lusted after a 527 for quite a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I have a CZ 527 and I have to admit that chambering a bolt action rifle in 7.62X39 is a pretty great idea. Ruger should sell a bunch of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This rifle will prove those people wrong. It's not an SKS or AK 47. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people think the 7.62x39 is somehow inaccurate. This rifle will prove those people wrong. It's not an SKS or AK 47. I bought the competitor to the Ruger American, a Savage Axis chambered in .223. The accuracy for a rifle at this price point is just astonishing. I believe that both Ruger and Savage have made it very difficult to compete in the $350 to $550 price range. The CZ 527 comes in a couple of hundred dollars higher and gives you a really attractive, high quality rifle for that price. I really like having a couple of bolt action rifles chambered in readily available military mid power cartridges. Cheap ammunition can be found just about anywhere and the lower kick of the rifle allows you to put a lot of rounds down range without developing a flinch. Built to CIP specifications, our 7.62×39 chambers are ideal for shooting steel-cased surplus ammo. Designed to shoot .311 bullets, some American brass ammo may not perform as well as the imported steel-cased variety because of SAAMI brass dimensions and varying bullet diameters. I've mostly shot steel case ammunition through my CZ, but the batch of brass ammo that I reloaded fired a very tight group (high and to the right). Once the brass has been formed to the chamber, I'd like to neck size a batch and see where the point of aim goes. But, yeah, the gun is very accurate at 100 yards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBKEITH Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Bud's has these in stock for $443. Man, it is really tempting to make a few mouse clicks and get one of these ordered up....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
