[QUOTE="RamBowMike, post: 490352, member: 32492"] Richard (RSCOTT), I applaud you for your maturity; you are a diplomat with skill and have the ability to recognize and salute fellow soldiers that have served our country. (Myself and My Son) and all the fallen soldiers as well. It will either soften or harden the hearts of many. Lastly, I own many of high caliber rifles including the Colt AR-15 Platform Rifle. It is my favorite rifle and with todays modern loads will collapse even the largest northern Michigan Whitetail deer. The farthest shot I've taken a deer with the 223 60gr DRT bullet was just under 200 yards. The deer dropped in its tracks. I have never had this happen with any of my other rifles. It's not the rifle that kills the deer, it's the choice of ammunition and bullet that does the ethical kill. (I prefer soft points in all my rifles) I've had the same luck with the Blackhills 60gr soft points. Out to 200 yards. Here in Michigan we really don't get any shots greater than 200 yards. This is brush country. Not sure if a 200 yard shot counts as a long range shot or not, but it does here in Michigan. Thank you for your maturity and recognition to our soldiers including my son who is stationed over in Belgium as we speak. [/QUOTE]
