OK Hornetguy, in answer to your question,What in the world is wrong with using a semi-auto rifle for hunting? In this state it`s illegal . Second; I do have a problem with the thought that some people think it`s ok to grab a tired old sks and a fist full of wolfe ammo and heading into the deer woods. Third- The people you read about shooting one inch groups with fine auto-loaders probably would not choose to carry one out for big game. And just to let you know sporting rifle does not mean hunting rifle... I have several autos in my collection and even if it were legal for me to carry one for big game I`m sure I could find something better than an sks for the same money.. And as far as "just dont get it" Where I come from hunting is a tradition and if someone came along who thought an sks was acceptable as a deer rifle ,, We would try to teach him the differance

ALL DAY, EVERY DAY,IN THE WOODS...
