7.62x39 is not discontinued

The standard round in Russian army is 5,54x39, 7,62x39 is sometimes used in urban combat, and AFAIK they are using their enormous cold war supplies and they are not making it any more. But, indeed, several manufacturers make this round for commercial use. This is and always be available, but it's not the extremely cheap milsurp ammo which was in the same or better quality but at a half price.

it's basically impossible for every kind milsurp 7.62 NATO to perform "way better" than any 7.62x54R milsurp as you've asserted

As already said, this is my opinion and experience and everybody can do whatever s/he likes with this info.
Also, my another personal opinion is, that unless I'm a WW2 reenactor or pro zombie hunter, I'd use Mosins, SKSs, SVTs etc. for decorative purposes and something else for shooting (preferably chambered in .308 Win).
