[QUOTE="Grizzman47, post: 3000297, member: 125904"] I hadn't mentioned it yet, but there are more chambering options for "ARs" than 5.56 and 308. An AR-15 chambered in 6.8 SPC or 6.5 Grendel (and others) is fully adequate for predators and big game up to deer. It's also more appropriate for self defense than a 308 Winchester battle rifle. If you want to buy a battle rifle because it's a battle rifle, then go for it. It's highly unlikely to be used for self defense, so that particular possible use case shouldn't be the main consideration. I've got a few of them, but have no plans to use one for home defense, since that's what the 12 gauge, 6.8 AR, and pistols are for. [/QUOTE]
