7.62x39?

I built an AR in 7.62x39 to carry with me on the farm to use on the hogs. I will be shooting the surplus 123gr HPs. Also looking at the possibility of using it for a woods gun for deer hunting. I used to have a SKS and my brother killed quite a few deer with Rem corlokts. Any of you guys deer hunt with this caliber and was rounds are y'all shooting?

I don’t know much about a 7.62x39, but I have that same rifle rest.

Great looking build.
I know a guy who had a Mini 30
And used it as a woods gun for deer. He raved about it. Not sure what bullet.

LOL. I was going,g to make a joke about the rest, but then I realized its a pretty good idea.

Improvise adapt and overcome. It does work great. And perty cheap too

I use the Wolf HP's but Hornady makes a steel case sst that I want to try.

like a .30-30 with spire points ...

Nice looking rig marshmud

Used Rems&Speer's. It'll kill.

I killed several with a AK47 and coreloks killed them deader than elvis

Elvis ain't dead. He's been living in Kalamazoo all these years.

Say it ain't so

^^^^ y’all beat me to it LOL!!!

I've used some Fusions in my SKS...

I like the Barnaul(Brown Bear) 154gr SP in the SKS and AKM. Don’t have an AR in x39, though.

Have 2 in AR configuration.
Would love one in that Ruger American Ranch.

I use 123 grain Winchester Power Points and have had good luck on both deer and hogs with it. I want to try some of the cheap stuff in a soft point too, but haven't found it in anything but FMJ at my local hardware store. Nice build by the way, I bet you will be pleased with your choice of caliber too !

Wife killed a few with an SKS and Tula 123g hollow points. What grip and stock do you have there?

Inquiring minds wanna know, that stock does look interesting.

Resembles the Archangel stock I have on a SKS...

The stock is an Adaptive Tactical EX Performance. The grip is just a cheap UTG pistol grip. Stock has the QD sling adaptor and the regular style hole for something like an Uncle Mikes sling swivels.

My daughter killed her first deer youth weekend with my sks(first gun I killed a deer with too). Shooting SST bullets

tula 8m3 is what you want for cheap but effective ammo. Most of the steel cased hp's perform like fmj's. I think sgammo sale the for like 25 cents a round. There's some youtube videos on there performance.

The doctor who did the autopsy on Elivis said if he wasn’t dead when they brought him in he damn sure was when he left.

Have used a mini 30 for deer before. Killed a few at less than 100 yards. Took forever to get that gun to where it’d shoot a descent group. Don’t recall any of them dropping in their tracks usually ran a little ways.
