Not to be un-American but...a standard SKS shooting the 7.62x39 cartridge has about the same balistics as the venerable 30-30 Winchester. The latter being reputed as the cartridge that has taken untold thousands of deer every year.
They are inexpensive, the cartridges are easily located and can be a blast just to shoot!
Just a thought.
