[QUOTE="Tallest, post: 3007355, member: 102929"] I agree, especially in the sense that it seems like a misnomer designed to make the "AR" into something it is not. To me, the true Modern Sporting Rifles are the carbon-fiber tensioned barrels in ultralight target chassis, specifically engineered to shoot the most modern, advanced hunting ammunition. They are modern twist on the classic bolt-action design, but they are certainly more relevant to "sporting" pursuits than modular, gas operated, semi-automatic, tactical rifles are. Don't get me wrong, I very much enjoy hunting with an AR, especially woodchucks and coyotes, but it will never be the most suitable tool for large game hunting. And I don't think I need to convince anyone here that large game hunting holds, by far, the largest portion of the "sporting" market share. FWIW... If we really want to convince the anti-gunners that ARs belong in the hands of civilians, playing word games probably isn't our best approach. [/QUOTE]
