I have a few interesting sporting pistols, and a decent slug/grouse defense shotgun, but have been without a rifle for a few years, now. Thinking I should have a rifle, though, in case a black bear ever decides to get between me and my s4ithouse at the lake, or if Doug finally decides to stop hunting whitetailed deer and therefore leaves some for the rest of us.

I like the looks of this thing. It's small and light, like my wallet. I could store it and transport it easily, and carry it all day. I like that it comes with iron sights. I also appreciate that it eats a small, cheap, corrosively-primed steelcased milsurp plinking cartridge that costs more to dispose of ethically than it does to buy. (East Bloc primers: Now with extra mercury!)

And it's got controlled-round feeding, girls! Yes! Controlled-round feeding. That means, the next time I'm set upon by a ravenous pack of porcupines and find myself rolling ass-over-brainbucket down a loamy hill with my suspenders flailing around my ears while shrieking like a little girl (six times now), I won't have my precious live rounds (five for a dollar, made of real metal) spilling out of my breech cluttering up the environment (I love the environment) and possibly putting out an eye.

So. Yeah. Please help me prevent an act of indebtedness. 'Cause I'd be way better off with one of those Marstar Norinco carbeens, right?

Right?
 
Sorry dude but I have a 527 US and its one of my "cold dead hands" guns. You aint gettin no help from me. Enjoy the angst tho.
 
You can get a euro rifle, but please get it in a north american cartridge. Try .308.

The only acceptable euro rifle/euro cartridge combos currently available, that i will accept are the tikka's and sakos in the 6.5x55 and 9.3x62, simply because they are not commie in any way.:p


Well actually, for former pinkos, CZ makes a decent rifle, I'm just not at fan of the 7.62x39.;)

I tried to talk you out of it, but somehow doubt I was effective.:D

Any used 270, 308 or 30/06 would be a better choice for all around use. The EE is full of them.

Well, I almost picked up a $950 CZ 550 in .416 Rigby six months ago, but I wasn't able to swing the financing for a box of solids. Ammuntion price is a factor. Hoping to rely on battlefield pickups, truth be told.

Besides, our shed at the lake is 12' x 16', and that's where I see my last stand against the flying squirrels happening. Really prefer something short and small, with a muzzle blast that won't pop the lightbulbs and set the siding on fire.
