Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots Ruger #1 in 7.62x39

You want a 7.62x39mm rifle with a 308 diameter barrel. That way, you can load a large number of bullet weights and types and shoot them all accurately. It really is a good cartridge, but there are too many used surplus rifles around and too much crappy ammunition sold. And too much confusion about which ammunition to shoot through which barrel.

Look for the zen of the 7.62x39mm.
