[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2903392, member: 15054"] I had my marlin 22 and my marlin 30-30 model 336 and 2 12 gauge pumps stolen many years ago..That was all my guns. I was gunless. My wife ..girlfriend then and my dad went in 1/2's and got me an sks. I cleaned all the cosmoline off and began shooting it.. was ok MOA of deer at 80..I had a shot at 125 yards broadside..I aimed at the double lung area..easy shot. Deer dropped like a rock. I got over there and it had an exit hole in the neck about 1.5 feet from aim point. I then began testing it at 100-150 yards. No good..My 30-30 had me spoiled as did a slug from a 12 gauge at that distance. I would be lucky to hit the milk jug every time at 100 with the sks. I did not reload my ammo then.. it was store ammo. cjjtulsa thanks for the information on them.. I just assumed they would at least be as good as a 30-30.. never researched them or even wanted to after that one I had. [/QUOTE]
