This is the definitive reason for carrying 5.56/.223 as well as .22, 12ga, 9mm and .40 in your survival collection for when times get tough and grubby.This is a great Mad Max rifle, incredibly reliable, almost no moving parts besides a few springs, uses widely 5.56/.223 ammo, 1/8 twist (will stabilize almost all ammo), standard magazines, extremely lightweight, deadly accurate, great for putting down all 2 & 4 legged predators, etc….
This is the way.If it's a gun, I kinda want it.
I have a savage 10/110 varmint that is a hoot from a bench. I also have ARs.
I also find myself wanting a bolt gun in 7.62x39.
I have a problem.
☝this. I mostly prefer bolt action when I’m “zen’ing” at my pops property in PA. Semi is fun yes but i like the slow pacedness and calming of a bolt. Especially when I have it in a caliber over all already.Some prefer bolt action
Can load long OAL heavier rounds singly in a bolt (if bbl has twist rate to stabilize)
Quieter suppressed
Lighter
Probably more accurate for the price.
Doesn't look tactical.
The Ranch in 7.62x39 is usually quite a bit more accurate than say an AK, SKS, Mini 30, et al. The 7.62x39 round is equivalent to a 30 30 that has allegedly killed more deer than any other cartridge. It also takes Mini 30 mags if you happen to have a bunch of these lying around. Finally, being bolt action, it is much faster to clean. BTW, the Ranch in 5.56 now accepts AR mags. YMMVIf it's a gun, I kinda want it.

I'll probably buy it soon. Finding them around $450 online.The Ranch in 7.62x39 is usually quite a bit more accurate than say an AK, SKS, Mini 30, et al.

Varmint hunting as in ground hogs and prairie dogs , at say 300- 600 yards . Small targets , and trajectory and wind bucking count .Wouldn't that have to be a big varmint? To me a good varmint rifle is a CZ 457 in 17hmr. But I am no expert when it comes to varmint hunting.
just mainly hunting regs like others have mentioned, I can use 223 to deer hunt in PA but "whoa that gun can cycle itself that's illegal" so my AR is just for plinking when at home while I have 5.56 Henry pump action for when deer hunting
