I found a byob (bring your own bucket) of federal 22lr copper washed on a shelf with my deer hunting fannie pack/supplies. Dont remember buying it but its 1100 rounds and will feed my buckmark and marlin model 60 for some plinking fun!
I'd look for an older remington 1100 or 11-87. Softest shooting shotgun I've ever hunted with. If it's already beat on cosmetically, I dont mind if I ding it up more. I almost bought an 1100 that was all dinged up for $265. It looked to be the clone of my mint late 1970s 1100
I was thinking of selling my AR in 7.62x39 but I shot it some more and carried it deer hunting this year. I kinda fell in love with it. Short/handy and almost 2 pounds lighter than my 30-06 bolt action. Very little recoil. Dont have to worry about it getting wet or dinged up. I think I'll keep...
In the next month or two I'm planning on upgrading a few scopes.
I carried my AR15 in 7.62x39 this year for deer season and I really liked it. Short, handy and I dont have to worry about banging it around. It currently wears a cheap tasco world class 1.5-4.5x32 that I took a chance on. It works...
Mine runs great with tula, wolf and monarch (I think its academy branded barnaul)
Accuracy isn't great 2-3 inches at 100 yards
It likes pmc bronze, groups them into 1.25-1.5 at 100 yards
I tried some asc magazines and they run fantastic
Before the current shortage I was going to stock up on...
I went with warne rings that fit the integrated dovetail. Fits my 2-7x35 great, I could probably squeeze a 3-9x40 on with the same rings.
I bought the rifle used and did not come with the factory rings.

Last time I moved I found 2 bricks of 22lr and 2x25 boxes of 12 gauge slugs in reused boxes of target loads! I bought the slugs in the normal boxes of 5 but cut the upcs to send in for a rebate and the slug boxes fell apart so I plunked the slugs in some empty target load boxes that I had laying...
I usually take my tikka in 30-06 but I have put together an ar in 7.62x39 that I am looking forward to taking this year. Its shorter, handier and lighter than my nicer rifle and I dont care if it gets wet or beat up when out hunting
I have a free floated one in 7.62x39 that has been fantastic so far. I'm very impressed for the price.
Granted I dont get out to shoot it that much. I've put about 200 rounds through it. Im excited to see how it will do for deer this next season
I usually make mine in a pot pie. Slow roast them whole, low and slow then shred the meat off and add veggies in pie crust and bake.
There is definitely a trick to skinning them!
Havent used it yet but I have a 7.62x39 that I'm itching to bring along to deer camp it's got a 1.5-4.5x32 scope. It's a light, short/handy and weather resistant rifle. My new stand spot is overlooking a clearing, distances of 80 yards max. I think 7.62x39 will do the job at that range
