Hey!
So I am in the market for a bolt gun that I can mount a scope to for use at the range. I currently own a 10/22 with iron sights, and an SKS with iron sights. I know I want my new gun to have a scope and be bolt action, but my decision on caliber has been difficult. I also know that I do not want to add a scope to my 10/22.
Since I have an SKS, and will be purchasing an AK soon... I have a lot of 7.62x39 lying around. I tend to buy it in bulk when I can, and I like to avoid having to take a bunch of different calibers to the range. This is what led me to the CZ 527. Its the only bolt gun I could find in 7.62x39 that seemed like a good choice.
Now my question is, does it make sense to go with this gun solely because I wanted to stick with this caliber? Are there much better options out there if I am willing to get into a new caliber? I must admit that the round is the only real thing that made me consider this gun, and Im not sure its a good reason. Dont get me wrong, I love the way the gun looks and I have heard great things about CZ... but if not for the bullet.. I would have likely never come across this as an option
