Chinese SKS rifles can be made to shoot very well. The coyote rig below was action bedded, had a trigger job, Choate Machine Tool receiver mounted scope base, lap polished the bore and fitted a muzzle brake. It will consistantly ring a 12" gong at 300-yards (until she heats up) and will easily outshoot my buddy's Mini-14. That isdone using cheap Ruskie hollowpoint hunting ammo. The scope is a fixed 4-power from Tapco.
It's a little on the heavy side but great for multiple targets out to 150-yards.

Another unconventional Lil' rifle for yotes is my Marlin lever in 357 magnum. Small and handy for those times when ya just want to take a walk and have a shootin' iron with ya. This rifle had a cowboy action job, trigger job and features a scout scope mount and a Burris scout scope.
