I have savage 10 fcp scout in the mail, and 1200 Czech rnds from Canam to go with it; a shame I didn't know they were getting the CZ but then I have 2 other savage rifles already...

Please let us know how your new Savage scout shoots the surplus ammunition. I'm curious to see how the smaller bore of the Savage performs vs the CZ.

Did you just say CZ 858's are expensive?

Was a bit interested in that myself, when in doubt can feed it to the sks. Want to try loading with .308 bullets to see about a heavier hunting round
No, he said the CZ 527 is expensive. At 820$, it's still a good chunk of money.

Here's the cheapest way to get a 7.62x39 bolt gun.
Buy the blued .308 axis with scope for $329 on sale then order the mcace chamber adapter for $35 or so shipped. Presto. You have a scoped 7.62x39 bolt gun for $365

I should demand a royalty from Savage for this.

well with it being 100% legal I don't know why it hasn't been done already.

I once had a mcace chamber adapter for shooting 7.62x39 in a 303 and it lasted about 200rds before it would no longer chamber in the 303 rifle.
Collecting cans on the side of the road and buying an off the shelf gun would be better and faster then dealing with Ace!

Hello John can you share with us what was involved in your build converting your No.4 Mk1 to 7.62x39 also what magazine do you use and capacity. Thankyou

I just bought the last CZ 527 in 7.62x39 from CA on the Sharkanado deal. One nice gun. And don't forget it has a .311 barrel where all the american guns are .308. So it is perfect for pounding out the milsurp ammo and way easier to clean then a CZ858 or a M4. Isn't all the milsurp ammo slightly corrosive??? So you should clean your guns every shoot!!!!

I'll report on the mcace adapter after I have installed it and run >100 rounds through my axis. (I bought a .308 axis just for this, I also have a Ruger M77 mk.2 in 7.62x39 )

Savage 10 FCM Scout w/2-7x32 LER scope and bipod
The Ammo left to right, MFS 123 FMJ, S&B Czech Surplus '1990', Chinese Surplus '1967'
The Targets: 25m bench off bi-pod 3 shot groups
MFS iron sight 25m
MFS Scope 7x 25m
Czech Scope 7x 25m
Chinese Scope 7x 25m
The Targets: 100m bench off bi-pod 3 shot groups 'bottom left is irons, couldnt even see the red target behind the post' middle target is from buddy's .223
MFS Scope 7x 100m 'that's not a flier its a bad shooter ie me'
Czech Scope 7x 100m 'again shooter error not a flier'
Chinese 7x 100m I'm happy with this group
I think with Rifle targets to index the crosshairs on, or glass good enough to pick a repeatable spot this could easily be MOA with surplus 'even with me shooting', my local shop
only had the MFS in and had yet to get in hunting ammo or I would have tried it also.

Good shooting Irish Crow. I have found that the 7.62X51 Norinco surplus ammo is inconsistant. So the 7.62x39 will be the same. Ruger confirmed this. Nutnfancy under continuos fire could only get 2 and a flyer. I have duplicated this!!! To get MOA at distance with a hot barrel you will need a better gun,scope and ammo. (200-600 yds.) Hunting 1 or 2 shots differant deal!!! But it is lots of fun trying with the lower $$ rig!!!!!!
