Another 7.62X39 fan here; Ruger Mini-30, Savage 10FCM, and Zastava Mini Mauser. I cast my own bullets and reload. I had a lot of youth hunters use the cartridge over the years and they sold me on its effectiveness on our deer and hogs.
My Mini-30 is set up with a Scout mount, Weaver Lever-Lok rings, and their K4 Classic Scout scope. The mount allows the use of a tactical sling and light, I use this setup to still hunt hogs at night on my ranch.
Use the rifle when bringing coyotes and bobcats to call. Really dumps them hard.
My Mini shoots the Tula 154-grain PSP like a laser so I "crated" up ammo to have a bunch on hand. I shoot the cast for my normal use.
The Savage 10FCM is the most accurate rifle I own. Great deer and hog getter.
The little Zastava is cool hunting rifle. Real classic, slick look.
Howa has a new Mini-Action configured in three different barrels; 22" standard, 20" light weight, and 20" heavy. It is is fed by a 10 round magazine and will probably join my these.
