[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 548487, member: 30902"] Well I got my AR-260 upper in today after a long wait and much anticipation. Essentially you have 308 knock down. Better ballistics especially at long range with no more recoil than a 243. I'd rate it as nearly as comfortable to shoot as a .220 swift to be honest. If I had a kid coming along and wanted to get them a great rifle they could do it all with throughout their youth, and have a dandy little varmint, deer/antelope gun for the rest of their lives as well that's definitely the way I'd go. Put a linear comp on it (next step for me) and you can see your hits even at close range. As it was with the AR I was watching all my impacts from about 250yds out to 750yds which was as far as I shot it today. I thought long and hard about going with a .243 or .243 AI and now that I've put some round on target at various ranges I'm really glad I went the way that I did with it. I'll give you a little advice here on something else. The time you put in with your kids on things like this will be the moments they remember the rest of their lives. My dad is in the process of passing away at this moment and has been for the last week. All of my fondest memories with him are from our hunting/shooting/ fishing/ camping trips in my youth. Make sure your kids have a lifetime's worth of memories when they get to the same point where I am today and you can pass with a smile. [/QUOTE]
