I've been seeing you bring in a lot of different goods lately, is there any possibility that you guys can source bolt action hunting rifles in 7.62x39

Wikipedia states that they use to make them back in the day and made 8000+....can you bring in a shipment?

I've yet to see any up on the EE so it looks like owners don't want to let go of the ones already here.
 
I bet Savage would do a special run of x39 in the Axis if CA ordered enough of them and ensure they use the proper bore for the .311 bullets though.
 
Unfortunately, the factory no longer makes rifles in 7.62x39mm.

Your best bet is to grab a Zastava M85 from us if you're looking for a budget bolt gun in 7.62x39mm. Click HERE.

If you want to fire surplus through it, you'll need a stronger firing pin spring. Click HERE.
 
If I recall, there was the Savage 10 FCM scout, no? They were like $800 bucks, though... so not that affordable. As for the JW-103's, most people cling to them, they were a good value, despite what people say about accuracy etc. You just need to put a little work into them, to make them a bit less "rough"

I've heard that the savages in x39 have .308 diameter bores. From what I've heard, they'll still shoot .310 surplus, but accuracy may suffer.
 
Ive held a howa mini and was incredibly disappointed. Cheap plastic feel to the stock and magazine, magazine release in a very bad spot if you plan on hunting with the gun, super easy to hit accidentally on any branch, poor creepy trigger. Sure the action and barrel are good from what i hear but the rest needs to be re thought. I have a cz 527 in x39 and the fit finish and function far outweigh the cost. Its an incredible gun with amazing iron sights and beauty wood, and a magazine that cannot possibly be hit by accident, prints 1'' groups with SB, federal and Hornady ammo. Walnut and steel beats toys r us tupperware any day of the week.
buy a cz and shoot it forever, buy most other x39 and take time and effort to make it shoot half decent.
 
I have a jw in 223 and let's just say the mag release tab broke the first time I extracted the mag. And the bolt feels like pulling a Dodge out of a mud hole. I think for the price the m85 is a better bet.
 
I had heard about the need for some 'tinkering' on the Zastava and thought if I need to work on it from the box, I'll look at the cheaper Chinese option first. Howa is out of the question for me and my pocket.

I'll keep on browsing the EE until a Norinco one finally comes available.
