I've never posted here before, so I apologize If a similar question has alreday been asked.
I recently had the opportunity to use my friend's SKS, and I found it to be one of the most comfortable rifles I have ever fired. Since these rifles and the ammunition they fire are inexpensive, I am half considering buying one to be used as a short range deer rifle. Is the 7.62x39mm round powerful enough to take small to medium size deer if the range is less than 75 yards and shots are carefully placed. I would appreciate any feedback.
