May I join this discussion? I love the looks of the SR7.62. but it is pricey. I have a ruger minithirty ( 7.62X39) which offers 30 caliber performance in shorter distances. And I have an AR-15 M4 also in 7.62X39. I still desire a 7.62 NATO but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I just wanted to add the option of slightly less power.
