I want a SCAR 17S but can't justify that cost. LoL

With the AR-15 you are pretty much removing any chance of hunting with that gun, I believe some states even limit what you can hunt with a 223 round, you can hunt with an AR-10.

Had to Google that... yeah, no shit you can't justify the cost. I mean, if I were working security guarding Tom Hanks from Somali pirates... maybe.

Seems like the point of entry for the AR10 is around $1,200... I don't need anything particularly fancy. I don't want to go full retard with the tactical shit either... some sights, a bipod, and be done with it.

Unless you want to get stupid $$$$ and go .338 Lapua the AR-10 will be a very good choice for the money. For many of the same reasons as AR-15.


Just don't get a 16" barrel. That's really too short for 100+ yard accuracy. You'll want an 18"+ preferably heavy or bull.

That is sharp! I think it would have looked even better had they kept the line on the slide extension rather than curving it like that. Oh to have money!

As a strictly hunting rifle, I like the bolt, .308 or .270 is nice mid range.

As for people not using the AR for a hunting rifle, I beg to differ.
It is THE most common varmint rifle I come across, and some also use it for larger game (white tail deer). I occasionally use mine for that, and it works.

As for ranges, my personal experiences 75% of my shots are sub 100 yards, the rest are in the 250-300 range. Personal best is 435 yards on a white tail buck. That was with a Remington model 700 30-06 and Leupold 3-9X40 scope.

You didn't read all of what was written, as I put it, people use the AR to fuck off and exterminate pest animals like boars and varmints as you put it. Not exactly game hunt, more similar to going pop squirrels with a 22. 223 isn't legal for use on deer and other large game in all states, so you have to watch yourself there.

Just curious. Would the shotgun in this video be illegal in your various jurisdictions? Apparently not here, which is odd, because I looked into getting a .45 Camp Carbine years ago and found that it was licensed as a restricted weapon up here, like a pistol would be, because its barrel length was a lousy 0.5 inch too short. And yet this is not?

Yes if you registered it as an SBS (short barrel shotgun) and paid the $200 stamp.

Incidentally my SBR stamp just came in yesterday so my 10" barrel AR pistol now becomes an SBR
