[QUOTE="huntaxhunta, post: 1421078, member: 101742"] have, both the AR and an HK 91. And I no longer do. One hunt was more than enough to convince me. Its not that they are in any way inadequate, I just see no reason to carry around a rifle that weighs between a third and half again what it needs to. In my area, to legally hunt deer/big game with a semi, there is a 5rnd mag limit (game law, not direct gun control law). So there's no point to a 20rnd mag, and its loaded weight. Without looking it up, the AR goes what, 9lbs+? depending on what the exact configuration is. For regular big game hunting, I much prefer a rifle in the 7lb weight range, all up with scope, and lighter if I can get it. It might not seem like much of a difference but trust me, when you are carrying it in your hands, and/or on your shoulder, and covering miles on foot, it is a BIG difference by the end of the day [/QUOTE]
