It may be cheap but it is effective. I took down a white-tail with my chinese paratrooper SKS about 10 or 12 years ago. I wouldn't do it again. It left a nasty wound on the animal. It was a heart/lung shot.
I can hit a pie plate at a 100 yards with open sights all day long with my SKS. All it takes is practice.
Like I said, it's a plinker.
Hitting a pie plate with open sights is not my idea of accuracy at a hundred yards. I can do much better than that with colt .45 without mods.
That is what I was referring to.
