Default RE: SKS? Popular hunting rifle?

ORIGINAL: AmanitaVerna
If you think all SKS's are inaccurate, then it must really miff you that people are allowed to hunt deer with smoothbore shotguns, handguns and... egads.. bows.

The 7.62 X .39 is the ballistic equivalent of a 30-30, and the 30-30 has killed more deer than most all other calibers put together.
Whats to be miffed about? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, or more to the point, what you are trying to start! I handgun, and bow hunt also!
There are some calibers that are better suited for hunting than others, and there are some types of guns that are more suited to hunting than others!
If hunting with an SKS or similar type gun is what you want, and its legal in your area, by all means, knock yourself out!
I will say again, that most SKS' lack the accuracy, to be most hunters "weapon of choice!"
