Remington 700 in 7.62x39?

[NordicDave]

Isn't that why the big guy upstairs had us mortals invent the SKS?

You can buy a CZ Bolt Action in 7.62x39

Wow never heard of this. Thanks now I'll put off saving money again

Even the short action is too long. Somebody still makes a mini mauser length action that might be interesting to give you a really liteweight stalking rifle.

Because you can shoot big/long high BC bullets, something you cannot do with crappy milsurp ammo.

[QUOTE=ElvenSoul;12891767]It is a accurate round out to about 300yds then it drops like a rock.



Not really if you ever shot beyond the 50/100 yard sniper line.

With a 200 meter zero

Yugo M67 (122/123 grn.) ball will go 0-23 MOA out to 500 meters

7.62x39 Handloads in a .308 barrel with 155 SMK will go 0-18 MOA out to 500 meters.

.308 Win with a 168 SMK will go 0-16 MOA out to 500 meters

A 30-30 Drops like a rock.

A 300AAC/BO Drops like a rock

Wasn't there a company making Gibbs style jungle carbines in 7.62x39 with 308 bore for us ammo?

Yowza, my Dasher only needs 7.125moa to get from 100 to 500.

Sounds like polishing turds. It can be done but why.

Do you know the company's name or website? Ran across them a while ago, but lost their contact info

Special Interest Arms used to do Enfield conversions to x39...

OP, your needs seem based more on the round you will fire rather than the specifics of the rifle. If you need a bolt action rifle chambered for 7.62x39 due to your anticipated shooting locale there are better choices than a Remington 700 to be had. The CZ 527 Carbine was designed around your cartridge of choice and offers some nice features at a competitive price.

Who the hell wants a worn out mosin-nagant.

Can a Mosin-Nagant be given a new barrel?

Because my 6mmintl only did 0-8 MOA out to 600 yards and it was not a challenge any more. Its not about the "Easy way out".
