[QUOTE="mtwarych, post: 1800304, member: 70595"] OP, I believe both Ruger and Savage make bolt action rifles chambered in 7.62X39. In the early nineties I hunted the coast side of the Sacramento valley with a Ruger Mini 30. That's the 7.62X39 Ruger equivalent of the Mini14. The round itself is just powerful enough to kill a small coastal Black Tail but I wouldn't use it on a larger Mule deer or White tail. If you are firing block ammunition at 18 cents a round and keep in mind that you are very under-powered, it's an easy on your shoulder cheap trigger time firearm. If you decide to reload for the rifle, there isn't a lot of different weights and types of slugs available so sticking with block ammunition is probably your cheapest, best bet. [/QUOTE]
