Not sure if it will become my favourite deer rifle, but I just bought a CZ 527 in 7.62x39 that is a pretty handy little rifle.
My only complaint is the extended 5 round mag lands right in the same spot where you would carry it in one hand.
Super Cub, I found the 527 is short enough that I carry mine by the pistol grip, muzzle pointing down, most of the time. Very handy for me.
Liking this rifle as much as I do surprised me. I don't normally gravitate towards a rifle like that. Usually I like longer bbls and classic cartridges.
