Hello. I am currently looking into purchasing a CZ 527 Carbine. I want it because it is a mouser design (made smaller) that is light weight, has backup iron sights, and both chamberings allow me to plink with cheap ammo when not hunting.
I love varmint hunting, but realize that if the economy falls to far down the toilet that I might need to set my sights on larger game for food. Now I have heard that the 7.62x39 when using brand name ammo can be quite accurate with a capable rifle (Not an SKS). I have also heard the opposite. I have also heard mixed reviews on using this caliber on varmints (even when using appropriate soft or hollow points).
What are your thoughts on the subject? My primary mission with this rifle is varminting and plinking, If the 7.62 is capable of that, than I might would get that instead of .223.
Also, with the action being as short as it is, what scope would you recommend for this baby bolt action?
