Yeah, no problem on getting us discussing things. That's what we are here for! Don't appologize for starting something, as long as it is in the spirit of the forum. I appreciate that you have posted here instead of general discussion!

I use a 30-06 pump (tip off sights for the bush) with 185 grain leads. My dad handloads the shells with me, and we take our time to make the hunting rounds. My dad is a bit of a gun-nut, and he has LOTS of different rifles.

I appreciate the fact that the SKS is an economical rifle. I sometimes forget that people don't have fathers who are gun-nuts who give/buy/trade weapons for us.

My dad has an SKS. It shoots like shit. As I said before, it is fun to vent things, but that is about it.

LOL, yes, my dad modified a benchrest .338 win mag for hunting. Fucking thing weighed about 30 pounds. It kicked soooo hard that I started to get scared of it. If I remember correctly (probably not) I think we were launching 230 grains out at about 4500fps.

There are so many .30-.30's around this part of the country that have taken their share of game. Those old-timers know how to lead the target and follow through. The argument that the 30-30 has taken down game is not a bad one, but we could take it one step further.

"The model T Ford is a great vehicle. It was driven by the majority of the population 80 years ago, and people never had problems with them. It would be fine for a cross country drive."

Ummm. Yeah, okay, but how about getting into something new, with better technology? The same thing with the SKS. How about getting into something new, with better accuracy and stopping power?
