Bolt Action 7.62x39

[boogaloobaker]

Hey there folks

Wondering what the opinions are on a 7.62x39 bolt action, and what we have available in Canada?

I have more than enough ammo to shake a stick at, so I would like to get a bolt action in the same caliber.

Wondering what the options are or if there are any crowd favorites out there.

Not looking for a different caliber as I said before, I have a bunch of ammunition in this caliber.

Thanks!

They’re fun! I have taken a ton of deers with mine. I have a Norinco Jw103- bush ranger and it’s a pleasure to carry.

The Howa and CZ get good reviews.

Zastava makes a nice one too.

I have 2 of these. Love them. Beautifully made and nicely balanced

I'm pretty sure you can get a Ruger American in a variant or two in it as well.

yes, the ruger american and ruger american ranch, the ranch has a 16" barrel, the american a more traditional length

i like the howa metal...but everything else that surrounds them including the magazines are not my thing, so i'd be looking at the cz527's and rugers imo, even though the howa's are very accurate and have good adjustable trigger...the magazine and bottom plastic is crap, it's better in an mdt chassis build but still let down by the magazine

CZ 527. Has a mini Mauser action that is smooth as butter and a neat trigger that has a normal pull, or if you push it forward the trigger becomes a very light 'hair trigger'.

Edit: Shoots dirty surplus ammo decently , about 2.5" @100 yards (if i remember right) and better with federal ammo..
