I personally wouldn't hunt with a SVT-40 cause of its size/weight. And sks would work depending on what your hunting for. Be sure you don't use FMJ's tho

You can pretty much pick either or up at a sponsored site above or your local firearm store. And you will need to apply to the equipment exchange section if you would like to buy/sell firearms
 
Budget.

The SKS is easily accessoried, modified and upgraded, has little recoil, and is easy to resell.

For less than a thousand dollars you can have the gun, a folding synthetic stock, four rails loaded with all the accessories you'd have on an AR, and a magazine going down to your knees. Maybe a crate of cartridges in that price too.

What about the flux converter !

By the time you have thrown your money at an SKS or an SVT ( what mods are there for an SVT ? ) you could easily have spent what a CZ 858 costs. A CZ 858 is a sporty looking rifle as is, it has a pistol grip, and it comes with four 30 round mags.

The 858 is a nice gun that I'd be proud to own. I don't know about rails or optic mounts available for it, and IMHO the masonite wooden stock has an odd texture and makes me wonder if it'll break off when wet.

Don't worry I think the commies built it in mind that you would clobber an american skull with it's butt... so it'll hold against a little wetness.

You can get plenty of mounts for optics: receiver cover, handguard quadrails, scout mounts that replace the rear sight, and side mounts. The beaver barf stocks are very durable.
 
I hunt with my SVT40 and there is no game in north America that it cannot knock over, especially if you use readily available 205 grain soft points. There is nothing on the rifle that needs to be modified for hunting other than the use of soft points.
 
If you want one for hunting with, go ahead, I'm sure they will do the job just fine.
they are available at a lot of shops all over.
