Being an former SKS owner im going to recomend against using it. If you have access to a shotgun such as you mentioned USE IT. A 20Gauge Shotgun with the proper slug will put a deer down faster than anSKS will. SKS really dont make a good deer rifle but works great on varmints.
I completely agree with this guy.....
While the SKS might chamber a round that could kill a deer, shot placement becomes ever crucial... I use the SKS on coyotes, now thats good shootin..
