[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1432738, member: 101755"] I have read some of the reviews and they mirror what jmc has found. They're not great shooters, but a decent value. Mud, I have shot one hog with a 5.56 and it was not pretty. A huge boar walked up on my wife and I while we sat watching our feeder. The shot was about 10 yards and I popped him level with his eye brows head on. It was a hollow point but I can' recall any more of the details on the ammo. He went down like he was hit by a truck but was laying on his side making a running motion with all 4 wheels, squealing like crazy. It took three more into the sternum area headed for the heart to finally stop all motion and noise. I kept the skull because of the tusks and once the skull was done...one entry, and no exit! I now understand why our troops dislike it in combat. I have hunted a lot with my 7.62X39 AR though. I've shot fall turkey, hogs, deer and Blackbuck Antelope with no issues at all. So I've enjoyed the AR platform for hunting, but can' do the 5.56. I' sure this little 6.5 will again spark my interest in the AR platform again. Thanks for all the help! Still need a budget complete bolt though... [/QUOTE]
