rifles that shoot 7.63X39

[Jekemi]

Besides the AK any other guns that shoot the 7.62X39 that you guys can recommend? I've seen the Ruger Mini 30 but are there others. I have an AK but it shoots terribly and the front wood stock gets so hot I think it's going to catch on fire. I'd like to find one with a nice barrel that can be used as a varmint rifle.

Totally different cartridge, DO NOT attempt that!

CZ makes a nice bolt action in 7.62x39mm if that is what you are after.

The only thing you should be shooting (or trying to shoot) 7.62x39 through is something it's chambered for.

It may shoot 7.62x54, please, for your safety done try to shoot 7.62x39 in a .308.

Oh believe me i am not shooting anything through it. It is grandpa's coyote gun he got back in WWII. Just can't remember what it is off hand.

Another vote for CZ...I'd love to see how it shoots.
Been thinking of one myself.

I like the Ruger mini. I'm going to reload the cartridge (brass, not the steel ones) to save bucks. I don't want to get too many different calibers. I'm already reloading .223, .270, and 7.62X.54 plus shotgun shells. One more won't hurt. Thanks for the help as usual.

Nope, that one shoots .30 carbine.

7.62X39 is a russian/commie round.  Ballistics suck, for varmints.  200 yard round max.

Stick with 5.56/.223 and get an AR-15.
