The mosin nagant will work great for deer and is perhaps THE MOST under rated rifle in the world. It has plenty of horsepower but be sure and get soft pointed bullets.

I would say that, if you have a better scoped rifle in a suitable deer cartridge, I'd stick with that as a hunting piece and leave the old warhorse in semi-retirement. But if you REALLY want to use it, and it'll hit the broad side of a barn from the OUTSIDE, there is no compelling reason not to use it.

True. The Mosin Nagant was made to do one thing and one thong only, kill people, not deer! Unless you live in Russia and that's all you can scrounge up, then go ahead and use it. But I would use the cheapest deer rifle being produced today (fill in the blank on this one) before I'd use a Nagant.
