    Sks is a 7.62/30-06 round, which is a good round for medium to large game. The ar15 is 5.56/.223 which is much smaller and not suitable for more than varmint or coyote.

      It’s incrediblly not a 30.06. SKS fires a 7.62x39mm cartridge with about 1400 ft/lbs of muzzle energy.

      A 30.06 is 7.62x63mm cartridge with around 3000ft/lbs or muzzle energy.

      A .223 from an AR has about 1300 ft/lbs, making it MUCH closer to the SKS than the BAR.

        There’s a really wide range of opinions on what animals 5.56 is ethical for. I’m not gonna say they’re all valid, but this opinion this person shared is an opinion people have.
