My new scout rifle

[NWO]

Now I just got to find someone with some Leupold scout scopes in stock.

I wanted a bolt action in 7.62x39 and was even more interested when I saw I could get it in a scout package!

Short range wolf, varmint, and deer rifle... I got around 500 rounds of hornady SST and PPU ammo to try her out with!

Congrats! I like that little cartridge..........great for the bush hunting deer.

I like the rifle better than the cartridge, but I can see why you are happy.

..don't worry,...a 308 reamer will fix that right up....

 

[deerfarmer]

looks like a handy rifle as it sits now for bush rompin - minus the rail. u considering using peep at all or straight to scope?

 

[dead meat]

Would make a nice carry in the tractor gun, cheap ammo and all. Post a range report when you get it running.

 

[west250]

Cool! That would be a handy bush gun... Congrats!

nice little gun... not my caliber... but very nice indeed..

 

[lone-wolf]

Detachable magazine? Holds #rds?

nice little gun... not my caliber... but very nice indeed..

Same caliber as 30-06 or .308 or .300wm. Nice gun, not my favorite cartridge.

I take it you won't be using surplus corrosive ammo- good call. I've got an older version of the same rifle in .308 and I really like it. I use a Leupold 2.5x scout scope on it and can keep in inside 2 inches at 100 yards if I'm shooting well. Does yours have the accustock?

Or the 30-30

Thx guys and to answer some of the questions posted.

yes this has accu stock and accu trigger.

I will try the peep sight but I am looking for a leupold scout scope so maybe I will just use QD rings for the best of both worlds...

I will not be putting corrosive ammo into her... don't care how cheap it is that what $100SKS are for.

Comes with 4 round detachable mag.

I already have a new Ruger 308 scout rifle, and while it would seem to Cooper and most of the world 308 is the ideal scout caliber, for the bush hunting I do this gun will more then do the job.

The king

Or the 30-30

Please, do not mention that cal,or who knows what will happen.

 

[deerfarmer]

NWO - you have me looking at these scout rifles now!! trouble I like the carry point on them with a scope mounted.

 

[8mmpeter]

Or the 30-30

ha.ha lol ..... well played!

 

[Bananatole]

Try the bcredneck website, he did carry them at one time. While you wait, don't let that ghost ring go unappreciated. Enjoy your rifle.

Why the reluctance to shoot surplus ammo? It is cheap to shoot and in bolt gun WAY easier to clean up than a semi-auto. The SKS, 858, etc all need to be stripped and cleaned after shooting surplus ammo. The bolt gun is pretty quick to clean. I have a friend that shoots the surplus ammo in his CZ527 all the time with no issues.

and aren't you going to clean it after you shoot it anyways?

Lovely gun BTW!
