I have this PSL (7.62x54), I've taken it to the range several times, but I have yet to hunt with it. The scope is a 4x, and I'm thinking about upgrading to something else.
The thing I love about this gun is the fact that you can have the scope mounted, and still use the iron sights. The casings tend to shoot out far and fast from this rifle, so I have to use a big piece of cardboard at the range to block their flight.
