Any bolt 7.62x39 bolt rifles out there?

[Roost]

Already got a semi-auto 308, and im interested in the cheap ammo. Is there such thing? if so wheres a good place to buy them

Not a common question. I think Ruger makes/made a Model 77 in 7.62x39. Marstar sells/sold a little Norinco magazine bolt action in 7.62x39.

thanks for the reply. had a look on marstar and it appears to be sold out . Guess theres not much demand for such a rifle

 

[SuperCub]

I think CZ makes one as well.

The cream-of-the-crop is the CZ527, but at roughly $700+ you need to shoot a LOT of cheap ammo to justify it for that purpose.

And when you spend that coin, do you really want to run junk milsurp through it?

I see the Norinco (JW-103 'Bush Ranger') in 7.62x39 every now and then on the EE. Keep an eye out. I've considered one myself for the same reasons.

Although they have been discontinued, the Remington 799 is another option

If you're just interested in cheap plinking, then look for the Norinco JW 103 Bushranger. I had one, but it wasn't what I wanted in a rifle in that caliber, so I sold it.

It wasn't all that accurate, so if you're looking for accuracy then go to another brand or model. I'm not any kind of expert, this is just my experience.

Zastava made that for Rem, and still produces it...The LK M85 Mannlicher version is nice...

Yes CZ makes 1, and also Ruger from what I remember.

Australian International Arms made a Lee Enfield jungle carbine in 7.62x39mm, the bonus being it takes AK magazines. I have one and it's nice to shoot. I don't think more than about 60 got imported though, and I don't think they're around any more.

I tried the cz carbine out at wolverine, lovely light gun but very unimpressed with the sights

Discontinued? I bought a second one last August. No one said anything about discontinued. I like the rifle. Shoots accurately and is cheap. I run lots of non-corrosive through them.

Ruger 77 MkII 7.62x39mm

I picked up an original stainless/synthetic Ruger MkII in 7.62x39mm awhile back. Originally, it came with the factory paddle stock, which Ruger put 'wood' inserts in on this rifle. Originally, it was a 'limited run' production, although now the Ruger 77 in 7.62x39mm is a regular production item.

Recently, I put my Ruger barrelled action into a new style factory synthetic stock that I picked up off the EE here:

Old paddle style Ruger factory synthetic stock:

New style Ruger factory synthetic stock:

IMHO, the new style stock really improves the overall appearance of the rifle.

Now have the paddle stock hanging on the wall of my gunroom for a 'decoration'...
