I wanted an accurate bolt action 7.62x39 for testing the various flavours of milsurp ammo. Used a Rem 788 action (very stiff with fast lock time) and a used 308 target barrel.
The chamber of the 308 was cut off and the barrel was re-threaded and chambered for the 7.62x39. The reamer gave it a good throat, so there is no pressure problem using the 308 barrel.
Barrel was bobbed to 20", to give SKS type velocities. And it made the rifle handy enough that, with a smaller scope, I could hunt with it.
Did not cost much. The 22-250 mag feeds the 7.62x39 ammo.
It was one of the rifles used to test ammo. See:
