A lightweight carbine length rifle...the Savage Model 10 Scout 7.62x39

[jparent]

Seems like an answer for a badly thought out question.

Too much money for something to burn decades old inconsistent Cold War commie surplus in, provided it even works (the axis doesn't like milsurp .223)

And for new commercial or reloaded ammo, a .308 is more versatile in every way.

I don't understand the answer.

Cheap practice in a rifle that is exactly the same as the 308 you already own. Same trigger, bolt throw, scope, etc.

Even at $400 more than a Norc, that's less than a case of surplus 308. At $200 per 1400 of 7.62x39, you can still shoot a lot more for less if you burn 1000s of rounds of practice per year.

Though personally, I'd like to see Savage release a Scout in 22.

Bought it off the EE from one of the members.

Where does a guy find 10 round mags for this gun? Do the .308 mags fit the 7.62x39?

Lol... No, no, they don't.

Lol, I apreciate the reply. That could have been a 100$ mistake

The whole point of 7.62x39 is cheap milsurp ammo, it would be a non entity otherwise, why is the only cheap thing to shoot it with an SKS? $7-900 for a bolt action gun that shoots an antiquated calibre is ludicrous. /end vent

Totally agree, plus, you can't even hunt with the ammo and if you do hunt with 7.62x39 your paying the same amount as regular ammo.

I don't get why people are exited about this.

I don't get your point at all. So, toy're saying the only redeeming quality of the 7.62x39mm is the fact you can buy it cheap? If that's the case, why own anything other than a .22LR?
