Ya, not quite the bolt action 20"+ barrel you were dreaming of. I think he was trying to link to a picture of a Interarms Mark X Mini Mauser in 7.62x39 and somehow got that instead.
Yeah... not quite! LOL. Make that not even in the same ball park!
not 20inch, but still a bolt action
Does a straight pull have the loading/extraction leverage that a traditional bolt action has?
When I was looking into K31s, most people reloading for them said to full length resize, which suggests the answer to my question is: No.
As you point out, it's not 20"+ barrel length. Immediate fail.
To be clear, I'm re-barreling a 20.5" Savage Scout for an extra 1.5", and also to get a proper .310" groove. So emphasis on the
+. Also, the reason why I went to a bolt action is to get some semblance of accuracy. Straight pull, or semi auto, an AK isn't what comes to mind when I think about accuracy. That being said I'll keep an open mind... anyone have a 100 yard target with their Interarms straight pull? And it still isn't 20"+... lol. Also... does the Interarms straight pull really solve the optics mounting problems I've described?
A CZ 527 seems like a good option for accuracy... However, being of German descent, I suffer from the condition of squareheaditis, and therefore I like to have an optic mounted pretty low in relation to the stock. A cheek weld can become a chin weld pretty quickly for me. And it's an 18.5" barrel.
Yes, I'm picky, and I research before I buy.
Anyhow, this thread is about ammo, so I'll bow out at this point, however...
P.S.: Srsly... 7.62x39 (real) bolt actions. Import them... and stuff.
