Well, I aint proud ............ I took 3 Michigan Whitetail Deer in 3 years with mine. The longest tracking job was 45 yards.....shortest was about 20 yards........ all were double lung - broadside. Used a 122 grain to take every deer. I have a 4X scope on my Russian- SKS 45. It was all I had at the time to hunt with and seemed to work just fine for me. The (3) shots were all between 45-65 yards away. I was aware shot placement and distance had to be held within reason with the SKS. The Spike, Four and Five point bucks all were medium sized deer.... I felt the deer died within seconds of the impact..... no signs of thrashing once the deer was down..........
