Tiger in Spain 0 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Chinese SKS 7.62MM Full Metal Jackets, 30-round banana clip Seriously, I have used my trusty ol' Winchester 30-30 lever action ever since I started hunting. Nothing fancy, still use the iron sights, but it is deadly accurate from a tree stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extract the FMJ and replace with a lead hunting bullet and the SKS is just as accurate and deadly as a 30-30. Many deer have been taken with an SKS. And if you get a nice sporterized aftermarket stock, it looks and fits better. I even have a scope on mine. You do not, however, need the full ten rounds available...... Unles A LOT of deer run out at once. Do you ever get to hunt overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unles A LOT of deer run out at once. Do you ever get to hunt overseas? 147330[/snapback] No, hunting over here in Europe is pretty difficult in a legal sense and it costs a fortune to register a gun and get hunting permits. Most of the hunts they have down here in southern Europe are guided tours, where the hunting organization runs the animals in front of your stand. Pretty much a slaughter. There's not much sport in it here at all. The meat gets donated to orphanages and you have to cough up between $700-$1000 to hunt. I try and get back home once a year during deer season. My uncle and I own a hunting cabin up in the U.P of Michigan (near Munising) and we usually go up for about a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,457 Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 8MM German Muaeser. (My Grandfather gave it to me when I was 9 yrs. old. He "assumed" control of it in WWI) Poor Deer. They wouldn't stand a chance. I have not gone hunting since I was 14 yrs old. The gun is in great shape and I will never part with it. My Grandfather passed away when I was 10 yrs old.

MDM4AU 336 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I hunt with a Remington 710 .270 with a synthetic stock and a Nikon scope. The best gun I ever used was my step-dad's .308. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
