"It is a Warsaw Pact rifle - commie made - but a damn fine weapon. I still use my Chinese SKS for deer hunting. It's pretty accurate up to 150-175 yards or so. The 7.62 X 39 soft core ammo drops 'em in their tracks."

That was the first thought when I heard he said "I've never used an AK for deer hunting." Try it John, you might be surprised. Similar power to a .30-30 (my understanding is that it's more powerful at extended ranges than a .30-30, but up close the .30-30 wins hands down), which sure as hell has taken down many a deer. I mean, the 7.62x39 is probably even cheaper than the .30-30. And out of a full-length barrel SKS, more velocity than an AK.

Darn you, Mr. Simmons, now you make me want to fondle my SKS.
