Thread: Hunting with an SKS

A mate was using one for 10 years or more until he got into bow hunting. He shot hundreds of deer and pigs with it just using open sights. The only bad thing was after spotting a deer when it's time to chamber a round he would have to back track 50m-60m and chamber a round so the deer didn't hear bolt getting slammed forward then stalk onto the deer again.
I had a Ruger mini 30 during thoses years and the Ruger was the better gun being stainless steel and better scope mounting at the time. But he shot more deer than me with that sks and he never cleaned it.
