I've scoped mine and used it for deer and hogs. The hog I shot dropped where it stood.Can't go wrong with a K-31.

I know the feeling: there's always another gun to buy on the horizon.I still need to get a K31. I have had thoughts about some sort of Mauser and getting it scoped too. But alas Im out of gun money I never really had.
M1 Garand.
I'll be bringing my PU Sniper out this coming week with S&B JSP rounds. It's only going to the tree stand though, for trudging around in the woods my Marlin 336 is going to be there as well.
My favorite deer rifle has been a 1917. Have killed more than a few with it.
There are issues with the gas system and operating rod damage firing hunting vs mil spec ammo. This guy has an axe to grind as he sells a ported gas screw, but it explains the issue http://www.garandgear.com/m1-garand-ammunition
Secondly a friend of mine used one last year. His finishing shot went through the base of one of the antlers of a 9 point whitetail. There is a reason why people put scopes on rifles.
Not trying to argue, but I know the 7.62x39 is often compared to the 30-30 in ballistics and energy. If that's the case, I would assume a cartridge of that level been more than proven as a deer hunting round over the decades in the eastern US (of course with appropriate expanding bullets, not FMJ).

100 yards for a 300+ lb hog.I wouldnt go long range with it but under 200yds it should kill a deer fine.
