I think what he was trying to say, is that guys KNOW the limitations of their weapons before taking them out...when I take out my 700PSS .308, I know I can shoot a deer as far as I can see it, when I took out a 9mm Carbine, I knew I needed to be within about 40yrds. When I take out my compound (81#), after as many outdoor shoots I've been to, I know I can take a deer at 50yrds no sweat, when I take my 12ga SxS, I'm not taking a shot over 35yrds.

I think his main point is this:
Just because an SKS can't shoot 1MOA out to 600yrds doesn't mean the 4" group it gives at 75yrds won't kill a deer...

And just because you HEARD that SKS's are inaccurate doesn't mean that they all are....my old man was an avid rifleman and shotgunner in his day, he once told me-as I was walking out the door with my SKS to go deer hunting-"Why are you taking that, it isn't accurate!!", I just nodded and said, "yeah, yeah it really is....", he just shook his head and told me to keep my shots short....What he DIDN'T know is that that rifle actually shoots 2.5" groups at 200yrds, on a good day I can get snowmen groups at 100yrds...yes, it's the most accurate SKS I've seen, but it's pretty accurate for ANY rifle, let alone a $102.99 SKS...he didn't say much when I came home that night with the 8pter the "inaccurate SKS" had taken with one shot.

--->another reason people don't think they're accurate is because they've never shot one with a scope....the sights on SKS's suck. They're not precision sights, but a glass on one and you'd be surprised the difference it makes.
