Hi  nice video , do you have any misfeed problems with the large magazine?

[mag30th]

@pippipmagrip thanks, and yes, anything over ten rounds (in my opinion) is junk. Thanks again.

Great Looking SKS. Glad to see you using open sights and proving that this is a great weapon for med range distances. I would deff love to have you as my neighbor in a crisis. Or hell just to have you as a neighbor.

@chaseautoplex Thanks!

YOu know what? this is an absolutely awesome video. So many gun videos just have people blabbering and blabbering for ages. This is very visual, well lit, good transitions great pacing... you sir have a gift and I mean that

uuuuh not gonna lie, that is one very silly looking magazine.

WOW very nice shooting with iron sights, that was pretty incredible, there aren't very many people who can do that. Judging by the bayonet style its a Norinco model right? I have a couple but have never tried shooting them at those ranges!

Have you done any mod to the rifle ( trigger job, bedding...)?

By the way, great video. You ar my new gun fairy. :D

420 yards? wow! Impressive. I dont even think i could hit a target with open sights at that range

@estalker1647 bull moose is about 800 to 1,100 average, bigger if you get lucky. 2 or 3 rounds on target maybe you think?

[estalker1647]

@123VampireSucks - Now, you're in an area of discussion I don't have any practical experience. Again - Moose is a big animal. Now, if my math is right, the 155 grain HP will give you 1796 foot pounds at the muzzle, and rule of thumb, you lose 10% every 100 yards. and only half of that goes into the target - so, 700 foot lbs at 150 yerds. Plenty for deer, but for a moose? They weigh, what 600 pounds? You want at least 2:1 for a sure kill.

@estalker1647 yeah it's the only rifle i have right now and wasnt too sure about taking it out hunting. but say at a closer range like 150 yards or least, you think a 7.62x39 could do the trick? i mean i know a bigger round would be better but was just woundering if the 7.62x39 could do it too?

[estalker1647]

@123VampireSucks - Moose? 400 yards? Are you crazy? or cruel? - I have some 155 grain tungsten penetrator Armor piercing rounds I picked up - but - geeze, I'd think, for moose, you'd want something a bit heavier.than 7.62x39. Just can't imagine you'd have the stopping power at that range. Deer? - that's different. My 155 grain HP from Bear - I'd thinl that's would be worth the try. But Moose? (shaking head)

[123VampireSucks]

I got a question, do you think an sks could drop or kill something like a moose up to 400 yards? And what kind of 7.62x39 brand would be the better ammo to use for big game?
