I believe a Ruger American Rifle chambered in .243 Win or 7mm-08 Rem would be nearly perfect for what you are seeking.
Where are you finding that ammo for 20 or 30 cents per round?

Hey,

Congrats on choosing the 7.62x39. It's a GREAT short range deer-getter. It isn't flashy, but it works very well. I shoot the 123 grain Hornady SST steel cased factory loads. This is the only factory load I shoot (I prefer handloads), but this round just plain shoots and kills so why change?

With that said, if you're looking at a bolt action 7.62x39, I STRONGLY recommend that you get a CZ 527 Carbine. Seriously, it's the best. It's a great shooter, short and very easy to handle, and uses real walnut/steel.

It's my favorite rifle, and I have many.

Where did I write that I am "finding that ammo for 20 or 30 cents per round"?

Dude, the previous poster, when he read your post, was suffering from a serious Xmas egg-nog hang-over.

Cut 'em a break.
