[dinsdale]

Wow, 303carbine just officially went from annoying to total arse hole troll.
Even tells the Mod to mind his own business.

How can this idiot not be considered a troll and banned , at least from the sks forum.

I'm stating an opinion that the sks is a POS, that's not trolling. If you can't handle that ,I can't help it.
I am talking about a piece of metal that is what I call ,junk.
Your personal attacks say more about you..........

Please enlighten us on why a SKS is a POS, and why it's a gopher gun, and shouldn't be used on anything bigger.

Yeah man. This is too much. This is inexcusable because the sks has its own specific section. You are not just browsing through a forum to check stuff out...youre specifically going into this forum to stir up a #### storm. Its gotten to the point where this isnt sharing an opinion, but bringing a negative influence to the boards. Moderators are here to stop this...Stevo looks to be on top of this.

Stepping out of line here bub.

no, you have pass the point of just stating your opinion, what you are doing is call harassment.

Actually in a way it is allot like we collectively have a Stalker.

Dude, it is trolling. If your post is entirely intended to stir #### up, you sir, are a troll. Stating an opinion is fine, the way you do it is not.

Keep it up and I'll be recommending a two week time-out.

For one thing full metal jackets are illegal to hunt with and when handloaded with expanding bullets it's still an underpowered cartridge for anything other than varmints and predators like coyotes.
Sure you can use it for deer and such ,but it's a very poor choice especially when there is so many other more competent calibers.Accuracy has never been a stronghold of the sks , but you have a have a semi-auto to keep shooting til you hit something. Yes, I have shot them and that is what I base my beliefs on. Spray and pray is not something I do in a hunting situation, although you might have some measure of success in a battle situation.
Hunters owe it to the game they harvest by taking them quickly and that means using more gun than an sks.
I would't use a rimfire for deer for the same reason.....

Does anyone else think it's ironic that 303 carbine says he hates the SKS, but 50% of his posts are in the SKS forum?

Just sounds like the rants of a bitter small man...

Can you dispute the facts about the sks?

 

[coltfan]

For one thing full metal jackets are illegal to hunt with

There are commercially available 7.62x39 rounds of hunting ammo available

Sure you can use it for deer and such ,but it's a very poor choice especially when there is so many other more competent calibers.

Now you admit that the SKS can be used to hunt deer

Accuracy has never been a stronghold of the sks ,

Good enough for a 60 yard shot in the bush....I don't read about any 400 yard hydro right of way shots being tried with the sks

but you have a have a semi-auto to keep shooting til you hit something.

there are several semi auto rifle available for hunters to choose from....you show a closed mind with this statement

I would't use a rimfire for deer for the same reason.....

That would be illegal

 

[Gatehouse]

Sure, i can debate your *facts*

For one thing full metal jackets are illegal to hunt with and when handloaded with expanding bullets it's still an underpowered cartridge for anything other than varmints and predators like coyotes.

The 7.62x39 cartridge, when loaded wiht soft point bullets will kill deer reliably at a reasonable range. It has done this too many times to dispute it. It is not a long range cartridge, but just like bow hunitn gand muzzle loading, you have to work within the parameters of your tool.

Sure you can use it for deer and such ,but it's a very poor choice especially when there is so many other more competent calibers

Even you agree that it can be used on deer. There are many other more powerful cartridges, but that doens't mean the 7.62x39 won't kill a deer,

,

It's not a terribly accurate rifle, but it's accurate enough to hunt wiht at reasonable ranges. Using handloads, I shot a under 6" group at 200 yards wiht an SKS. A 8 round group. That will gett the job done, and at 100 yards (a more reasonable distance for the limitations of the cartridge) a 3-4" group is easy enough to attain. This is adequate for hunting deer.

200 Yards

but you have a have a semi-auto to keep shooting til you hit something. Yes, I have shot them and that is what I base my beliefs on. Spray and pray is not something I do in a hunting situation, although you might have some measure of success in a battle situation.

You can spray and pray, or you can act like a responsible hunter, and make the first shot count. Your comments are abou tthe person using the gun, not the gun itself.

Hunters owe it to the game they harvest by taking them quickly and that means using more gun than an sks

.

Shot placement and working wihtin the parameters of your gear- Just like archery. A hole through the lungs is going to make a deer die, whether it is from the SKS or a 300 WM.

I would't use a rimfire for deer for the same reason

I woudlnt use a rimfire because it's illegal and GROSSLY underpowered- Unlike the 7.62x39 cartridge.

He's in total denial!

 

[Proutfoo]

Can you dispute the facts about the sks?

are we discussing in this thread if the SKS is a restricted or non restricted, or are we discussing the merits of hunting with the SKS, or are we discussing how much of a POS the SKS is in the SKS forum?

let's recap:

Is the sks a restricted or non restricted firearm.

was the question.

Post #2 answered it. And post #3 derailed the thread. I am seeing the light...

 

[Holleyman]

Caliber MV 200YV ME FTLB 200Y E
7.62x39 (125 SP) 2365 1783 1552 882
30-30 Win. (150 FP) 2390 1605 1902 858

So by saying the 7.62X39 cartridge is underpowered for medium sized game you must also be saying the 30-30 is as well. The ballistics are almost the same at the muzzle and at 200 yards.
I know of a lot of deer and moose that would argue that the 30-30 is indeed adequate for taking down this game.
As for your personal experience of not being able to hit anything... well it isn't the rifle's fault your a bad shot.

Just because you can't shoot a SKS well, doesn't mean others can't. My dad served in the PLA, and good quality SKS will hit a fist size area at 100meters.

And well trained soldiers could get 10/10 A4 sized metal plates placed at 10meters apart at 100 meters within 10 seconds.

BTW, FC sell soft tip 7.62x39s, hunting rounds; and like you said, that will take down deers just fine.

did you post any pics? this "sks is not accurate" is total BS, I have seen some "hunters" with sporterized enfields have problems making basket ball-sized groups at 50m with sporterized enfields
