BEST 7.62X39MM RIFLES: OUR TOP PICKS

The classic 7.62x39mm is an interesting round. It’s one of the first legitimate intermediate rounds, but it’s also one of the few to use a .30 caliber projectile. The rifle round is most famously used in the AK-47 but has found its way into numerous rifles, light machine guns, and many more. The round has also become quite popular in the world of modern rifles. Today we are going to take a peek at the best 7.62x39mm rifles out there.

WHY THE 7.62×39?

The 7.62x39mm round is one of the few intermediate rifle rounds on the market that uses a .30 caliber round. It’s certainly the only common one on the market. A .30 caliber projectile ensures you have a heavy bullet that hits hard and penetrates deep. At short ranges, it’s less likely to experience wind deviation.

While most of us are used to AK fodder in the form of steel-cased cheap ammo, some companies like Hornady and Winchester have loaded some very nice and capable brass-cased premium grade 7.62x39mm ammunition.

It’s an excellent hunting round out to 200 yards or so, and with an experienced shooter, it can reach out to 300 yards. The cartridge packs quite the punch at close range and can be capable of taking medium-sized game and predators. At the same time, the cartridge offers very manageable recoil. It’s more than a 5.56, but not by much.

The cartridge is also quite cheap and easy to find. The price is comparable to 5.56 and can be found nearly anywhere. AK magazines might not be as common as AR mags, but they are not exactly hard to find, and plenty of rifles outside of the AK series use AK magazines.
