Guess it depends on what you mean by "military surplus".....I hunt deer with a Swedish M96 that has been "sporterized"....does that count? Had a bear of a time seeing the sights, and they were difficult to adjust, so I cut the barrel down, added a composite stock, redid the safety and had it drilled and tapped for a scope.
I also hunt deer with a chicom copy of an M1A1....not really a 'surplus' gun, but functions & looks like the original (and chambered for .308).
....and I chase coyotes in the winter with an AR15; again, not truly a 'surplus' rifle, but looks enough like the real thing.
....and yes, prices are ridiculous! Anyone who bought a mil. surp rifle and left it in it's original condition might consider selling it right now; prices are prime!
