    Why do people frown at using military rifles for hunting?

    I do alot of bush hunting and people have always said get a tikka t3 with 3-9 leupold blah blah blah so i went out and got a SKS and use it with open sights much to everyones disgust. I see it as the perfect short range rifle and cant understand why people insist on scopes and a bolt action. I love the semi for follow up shots because lets face it, everyone makes some bad shots sometimes. It probably only shoots 2MOA but who can shoot better than that from the shoulder standing? Thinking of upgrading to an m14 for the roar, as i'm not a pussy and the weight doesn't worry me
    I'm gonna look a tool to some of the poncy hunters out there but i bet i won't miss a deer because of my choice in rifle. Beats carrying my bolt action .308 around. I thought military rifles would make perfect medium range hunting rifles.

    Comments please
