RE: SKS 762x39 for deer hunting?
my sks has accounted for 2 deer , and did so very well. I took the bayonet off, added a syn stock, and put on a 4x compact scope. I handload 150 gr sp' s for it, but the 123gr sp' s by rem, win, should work ok to. black hills ammo is loading a 150 gr sp if you can find it. wolf ammo is also loading a 150 gr sp, but i did some tests with them and the bullet did not preform well, eratic expansion, no expansion, or core seperation. Both deer were one shot kills with pass through. I plan on using again, even though I have many deer rifles to choose from. That remark(cheap shot) by vapodog was a load of BS!
