I'd take a 30-30 all day over 7.62X39. More velocity & heavier bullet.
I don't know. I had an sks. I own a 30/30. I could shoot further and tighter groups with the sks with open sights on both guns.I would too, have 2 of them. It's inherently more accurate out of the box. Just saying the 7.62x39 is adequate and similar.
I guess personal preference and all.
Meh. People hunt deer and elk with bows. I would rather have a .223 over a bow. I do bow hunt though.It is an inferior hunting cartridge. There are better options, regardless of the game being hunted.
.223 will kill a deer but I still wouldn't recommend it. It is, however, a decent choice for varmints.
I hunt deer with my ar.
None are really inferior rounds unless you are talking old surplus ammo.
My favorite rifle hunting round is a .243.
I've had many friends that talked shit about me using a .
.223 or .243. They all liked bigger rounds.
I'm a good shot and prefer not to destroy the meat I shoot.
