SKS for the farm....

Was watching Mountain Men on History. Eustace used an sks to for the head shot before the throat cut. Cool to see. I think I'll try the venerable sks for the next pig put down.

My wife watches Life below zero on Netflix, one of the women on the show hunts with a mosin sniper and a Finnish mosin by the looks of it. Always fun to see red rifles being used by people for other things than plinking or shooting garbage in the bush lol.

She trashed the sniper! Was chasing after a elk on a snowmobile and tried to stand up and shoot without slowing down and stopping and hilariity ensued, at the cost of the sniper unfortunately.

Used to put down livestock with the ol' Lee Enfield. SKS way handier now.

It's a show. They do stupid #### all the time to make it seem like their life is interesting. Like that dumb crab fishing show and ice road truckers. "OMG they heard a crack in the ice!" Goes to commercial. Comes back. "And everything is okay."

Many hunters and trappers living in the Siberian Taiga, by far the world's biggest undeveloped wilderness area, use the SKS as their primary rifle, even calling apon it to kill some huge bears.

I'm sure it'd be fine for a farm carbine.

I watch these shows from time to time, when looking to kill some time .. my parents really like watching them. This post prompted me to watch the episode in question, I've always liked the SKS.

With the prices of SKS's - even now - it is viable to have a few.

Agnes Hailstone apparently is a collector of Mosin rifles.

Chip halestone posts on the paleo planet forum a bit. Some really cool stuff, they are the real deal no doubt. Here is a huge 10'2 brown bear Agnes took with a mosin,

"7.62X54R Czeck milsurp light ball through a Finnish Mosin Nagant M-39 modle.

two shots through the neck the both ripping through the arteries and he bled out and collapsed 75-100 yards.

4 inches of Fat on its back, and the skin replaces our Polar Bear skin as our bedding for the wife and I. That meat was the true trophy.

We use Bear skins as rugs in our tents."
