It would work, but use soft point bullets and keep the ranges under 100 yards. Adding a scope isn' t going to make it more accurate, surplus plinking ammo is very cheap, so get lots of practice with the iron sights.
you' ve already wasted your money...unless killing people is what you had in mind.
there' s a lot of deer rifles out there....and yours is not one of them.
Now that is an unnecessary if not completely ignorant statement if I' ve ever heard one. I would guess that because its a semi-auto, its for killing people, and the fact that it only has as much energy as a .30-30, its inadequate to kill deer with?
