This is strictly academic or rhetorical, as I've never hunted anything, despite being middle-aged (and not yet seasoned with guns).
Bought a nice Lee-Enfield #5 Jungle Carbine in May and a week ago a nice #4 at the Batesville, MS gun show.
As the #4 (and earlier series) have taken all North American game, even larger beasts around the world (i.e. lions) plus huge numbers of enemies of Britain/Commonwealth in WW2, it has quite a record, but seems to be used much more in Canada, Africa etc.
Some units of the Indian Police or Army still use them, as seen in photos after the Oct '08 terrorist attack in Mumbai, India.
My only potential interest in hunting would be for a feral pig. For now, bricks, jugs, a few black, plastic peel-off targets at 50-100 yards. 100 is still a challenge with iron sights (one by the bullseye out of about six or more).
Lots of milsurp rifles are just uncool with most hunters or plinkers, it appears.
