[QUOTE="Louisiana Reloader, post: 2985822, member: 123382"] First of all, thank you for your service to our country. Next, I think there are many reasons why people want to hunt with AR’s. There has been an appetite for military like equipment in this country for some time now—especially from those that have not served. I won’t list on this thread how many AR’s I have—but I have many. Some are rigged up for hunting deer (AR 10’s, SCAR 17, and NEMO 300 Win Mag) and I have killed nice deer with all of them. I do use suppressors on them. Additionally, all have very nice aftermarket triggers from 1.5lbs to 4lbs. Oddly enough, perhaps my favorite AR 10 I hunt with is an Armalite AR 10 with a 20” heavy barrel (threaded—I use a suppressor) chambered in 243. Although a 243 is a little light for my preference for deer (y’all don’t get offended at me because I know it is shot placement and not how big the cartridge is) I have killed many deer with it and the few that ran didn’t run far. To get back to the point, I think there is just a huge appetite in our country for the AR type weapons and many are chambered in calibers big enough to ethically harvest big game. But, an AR type weapon rigged up with a nice scope is going to substantially weight more than a bolt gun and won’t be as easy to pack around the hunting woods. [/QUOTE]
