[QUOTE="Weaver93, post: 2484177, member: 120245"] I have done it both ways and the AR15 is the one I still own. My White Oaks heavy .223 Wilde is the rifle I kept. My AR10 in .260 Remington didn't make the cut. Great rifle, very accurate, but heavy as can be and not as pleasant to carry. I had Aero M5 receiver set, Wilson Combat 20" barrel, Aero hand guard, BCG, Seekins stock and Rise Armament trigger. Without scope it was a solid 9#, maybe a bit more and all told I had close too $2,000 in the build with scope mount, but no glass. If I were going to build a long range coyote rifle on the AR platform I would use the smaller AR15 and look at .22 Nosler or 6mm ARC. To me it is a much more nimble platform and with the ARC it can do double duty on deer. Whitetail anyway, maybe not so much on big mule deer. [/QUOTE]
