I have had quite a few SKS's. My brother bought a case of I think 12 or 16 we shot them all and kept the best six each. I am down to my last two.
Which is for sale, I notice you are in Utah. Where at?? If you are looking at one seriously send me a PM.
This one is a Norinco from China, with a spike style bayonet. It shoots great I have only shot about 250 round thru this one, not one jam. I have shot over 3,000 rounds thru my other one. I have been getting into archery and have been selling off some guns I hardly shoot to pay for that new habit
My brother has taken several deer with his which is scoped. My dad had also taken a few deer with his. I have just used mine for rabbit and coyote hunting. And to take out and just shoot stuff when the 22 gets boring.
This one I have just kept as a backup gun. I have kept it under the bed in my camper with 200 rounds of ammo as an "emergency" gun. Just in case my hunting rifle had problems. But now I am looking at a new 3d target and arrows so It is next in line for sale.
