RE: Does anybody else hunt with Surplus rifles?
I have hunted with one before, I believe it is a Russian M44, it shoots your 7.62x54, i love that gun more than any that i have, i believe i could drop it out of my stand and pull it behind my truck and it would still shoot straight, the only thing i dont like is it has a short barrel and stock, and the safety is a killer, for $110 i dont think i lost anything at all, my brother dropped a nice 8 pointer in his tracks with his, deer was dead before he hit the ground so i know it has plenty of punch, nothing wrong with Surplus in my opinion, all the ones we have had have been extremely reliable, other brother dropped a small doe in her tracks with a Chinese SKS 7.62x39, so hey, if looks arent that importantand you want to get into the sport for cheap, i think it is a good way to go,
