What milsurp would you hunt with?

[Cleftwynd]

Lee Enfield Jungle Carbine for the thicker stuff if you insist on a milsurp.

 

[xdmer]

I would take my sks, but haven't yet.

 

[DiabeticKripple]

SKS. Friend shot his bull moose with it at 125yds

 

[VanIsleCam]

sks - deer only

 

[bobbynewmark]

any 6mm-8mm bolt gun from the 20th century? and a few semi's as well

 

[BongoBob]

Lee Enfield No.5 Mk1 Jungle Carbine.

 

[TrueNorthArms]

I've taken both moose and deer with a 303 lee enfield .

 

[Brian46]

Browning M2

 

[cosmic]

Sported Ross with an 18 inch barrel and a red dot. Makes those SKS users extremely jealous,,,

 

[Outwest1213]

The K31 is the most accurate milsurp rifle with iron sights I have ever shot. It is also very capable of 1 shot clean kills.

Browning M2

Ahh! I did not see the Ma Deuce coming... It would need a safety first.

As long as you hunt ethically and responsibly with an SKS or a Blazer does not matter, hunters need to be united!

I have a nice SKS landing soon, maybe I will punch some bush with it this November!

 

[EL34/6L6]

M38, much lighter and easier to point than a M44.

 

[stovepipe699]

I've used my M1 Garand for deer. Shot a couple. Irons didn't work well in low light so I went to a commercial bolt action with a scope.

 

[Phat Eagle]

K31 for me... that thing is sooooo accurate! Mosin M38 would be second on the list.

I have hunted and taken moose with my P-14. It was the only rifle I had at the time. I've also hunted with a G-43 and an FN-49, both in 8mm. I've taken a Lee enfield out a time or two and currently own a mosin-Nagant m91 and a '71 Mauser in 11.15mm. I haven't hunted yet with the last two, but I plan to as opportunity arises. I think the Mauser will hit like a ton of bricks on whatever I shoot with it. It is a carbine and quite short and handy for northern Ontario brush hunting, but it is only a single shot with a missing extractor. Funny, they stopped making parts for them sometime in the last 140 years...

I have a K31 and can easily get 2" groups at 100 yards; my best group was 3/4 inch all using the original open sights. If you dress it up with a scope, you can cut that in half. I am not sure about the GP11 ammunition as it was intended for military purposes; so you would need to investigate this a bit. Having fired side by side with the SKS, in my opinion, the SKS is probably not ideal for hunting unless you intend on getting really close.

 

[MDR]

Took my first deer with a No4 Enfield a couple years ago, have since been packing it for bear. It went bang, deer went flop.

 

[ErikT]

Same thing here. First hunting rifle was a LE #4 Mk. 1. Took four deer with it before I upgraded, but I'd gladly haul another out into the bush any time. The .303 is a fine hunting round.

 

[SuperCub]

What milsurp would you hunt with in northern Ontario.

NONE! ...... There are too many far superior commercial sporting rifles out there to encumber oneself with a reworked military surplus bubba gun, most of which are heavy and do not take a scope well.

Anyone you handed me. I love hunting, with everything from slingshots to rifles. It's all good, especially ones with some history too them, I get lost thinking of where and by who they've been carried. Heavy isn't an issue for me yet, not that old and soft to where 3 or 4 pounds makes a discernible difference. Most people carry 3-4 pounds of useless crap anyway, most could afford to lose that and carry a neat old rifle with some character.
