Surprised no one has offered this before. Granted, there is the Ruger Mini 30, but many prefer a bolt gun for hunting, and even for plinking.

CZ527 has been around, and Zastava mini-Mausers in 762x39 have been brought in over the years by various importers under various model names - the Interarms Mini-Mark X, the Remington 799, Charles Daley and Century as both the M85. The Zastava guns have nice wood, and were plentiful last year and prior, but now that I had the $ they were gone. Happy I scored the Howa, they've dried up as well.
