Here's a little advice and you can take it for what you think it's worth.
Most all of us have been through shortages before and have planned accordingly.....so make sure of your pricing. Being "new to the site" you'll catch a little flack but stick around if you want to visit, buy, sell, and trade with the best on the net.

I gotcha. I can’t handle a little hazing.

Yeah, it can be a tough audience . . . but you'll make it. BTW, welcome to OSA

Yea even if they do not sell now, they will when the next panic hits, and the way our prez is doing that could be any day now.

P.S. I am only replying on the extremely unlikely chance that it gets me TWO hundred primers.

I appreciate the welcome! Yeah these caught me off gaurd for sure, but I'm not scared. I'm gonna stick around for a bit I think.

What are y'alls thoughts on hunting with an SKS?

Most SKS I have been around were dinner plate accurate at 100 yards. I prefer better accuracy for hunting than that.
If it was my only option, I would shoot at different distances on targets as long I was keeping all 5 rounds inside 4 inches. I would make note of this distance and never shoot beyond that when hunting.

I own 2. Both of mine are accurate enough to hit a 3" plate at 100 yds with Golden Tiger hollow points. But as @Oklahomabassin said, this is definitely not true for all SKSs. I've never hunted with them but 762x39 is certainly capable of doing the job.

I would get yours out, find a few different types/brands of ammo and see what it likes and how accurate it is at distance before trying to hunt with it.

Mine is accurate enough I think. I can consistently hit 4'' clays at 100 yards. I know that I need to practice more at greater ranges and I certainly wouldn't take a shot if I didn't feel confident at that range. I should have been more specific about using the 7.62x39 round.
