That's not so strange as you think. You can purchase an SKS and fit
with a scope for about $200 as opposed to the $800 or so you'd spend
on a "real" deer rifle; it's a pretty common substitution around these
parts. I know this because I owe the venision in my freezer to an SKS
fitted with a scope. <obligatory food reference>
