| I;m looking at a DSA FAL for hunting deer....anyone here hunt with a FAL??? |
I hunt everything with my FAL. Deer, Hog and coyote are not a problem for the FAL. I shoot 150gr SST Hornady had no problem with first hit kills. None of my kills have been past 100yd. My FAL is a G1 kit on a entreprise type 3, DSA scope mount, Furniture set, and a Tasco world class 1.5-4.5.
happy hunting

Quoted:
I will this year now that I've scoped mine with a 2.5x weaver. My older eyes can't always find the front sight. Based upon your state laws, you may have to have a magazine that holds 5 or 10 rounds only. Does anyone offer 5 rounders or do you just limit capacity of a standard mag with a dowel or whatever? ETA- I see the otherwise well out-fitted Quaddafi doesn't have one- so I assume they rare. |

ETA- I see the otherwise well out-fitted Quaddafi doesn't have one- so I assume they rare. The state that I hunt in has no rifle magazine restrictions, only shotgun capacity restrictions. DSA has 5 and 10 round magazines for $25, but I have no idea as to how they would function. I'd guess that they would work with no problems, but never have had a need for such. |

I shot one of our scrawny TX deer with an FAL a long long time ago.
A small buck at about 80 yds. Worked real good even though the cheapo soft point bullet I used did not expand at all. I found a .30 cal hole through a rib on each side. Even though bullet did not expand the contents of chest cavity were mush. Mr. Deer had run about 20 yds and was DRT. The FAL I used then had a 22" heavy barrel, so I guess the 150 grain bullet might have been pushing 2900 fps! |

I used my FAL to take a deer in 2006, 4x Burris was on it at the time. Took 2 shots but I dropped a small buck at 326 yards, probably a little luck involved. I've since removed the Burris and added a 2x Aimpoint which I can mount my magnifier behind for 5x total when needed.
