[QUOTE="wwbrown, post: 1520261, member: 31392"] I don't think the difference in accuracy between a custom AR and an off-the-shelf Tikka are enough to quibble about for hunting, unless you are hunting prairie dogs or similar-sized rodents. For the majority of the ranges that we shoot our non-rodentia the difference between a .5 MOA and 1 MOA is not an issue given the size of the vitals. So from an accuracy standpoint I would give the two platforms a functional tie. One of my key features in a hunting rifle is reliability under all possible hunting conditions I would hate to not be able to shoot a once-in-a-lifetime trophy because of a rifle malfunction. Given the bolt action has fewer moving parts the bolt's reliability is higher. Just based on reliability I will always grab a bolt out of the safe when hunting anytime I might get a chance at a trophy. I used to shoot non-antlered deer on crop damage permits prior to Michigan's deer hunting season and I probably would have taken out one of my LR308's if I would have had one at the time, as the shooting was a volume issue and no trophies could be taken. I have a bunch of AR's from a 300 Whisper pistol up to a heavy-barrled AR in 308. Just My Two Cents, wade [/QUOTE]
