You have anything else? There are way better deer calibers out there.

I'd highly reccomend getting the heaviest soft point you can find, you shooting factory or reloading?

I plan on trying my hand this year with a Marlin 336. Surprisingly accurate out of the box it is.

I have zero experience in this, but I came across this in wiki on 7.62 rounds with hunting:

"The SKS is so inexpensive as to have begun displacing the .30-30 lever-action rifles as the new "poor man's deer rifle" by being less expensive than the .30-30 Marlins and Winchesters that long held that role."

I just thought it was interesting.

7.62x39 is plenty adequate for whitetail and muley's.

Within in it's limits, yes, but I would try to find a bullet with a sectional density of at least .210 or as close as I could find for decent penetration.

For hunting I will take a lever action over a semi any day

Depends on caliber for me, but between SKS and 30-30 I'd pick the 30-30 every time. I'm mostly a bolt action man mainly because I reload and I hardly ever need more than one shot.
