[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 1155800, member: 5391"] Here is a radical thought if you are open to it. Try a CZ Model 527. It is a nifty little bolt-action carbine in 7.62 Soviet. You can also get them in 223. CZ decided to go with what appears to be a basic Mauser action and I love mine. It is light and handy, seems to be a good sturdy little carbine, and would make an excellent deer gun. It does have a couple of disadvantages, though, both connected with the magazines. The magazines are expensive and they stick out rather far under the receiver just where most people carry the gun. For me with my big paws, this is not a problem, but it might be for some folks. And because it is a Mauser, it is inadvisable to chamber a round except through the magazine, due to the extractor design. Plus, due to to the low cost of the 7.62X39 round, I can shoot this gun all day and not break the bank. Just thought that I'd throw this out there FWIW. [/QUOTE]
