If it were me looking for something in an all around AR for hunting both large game and small game, it would be in a 6.5 Creedmoor. If just plinking and shooting varmints, it would be in a .223/5.56. You really can't go wrong with something in the Armalite, Colt, Bushmaster, Rock River, Stag arena.
With all of this stated, I have tried to like an AR for hunting. About the only time it makes sense for me is coyote hunting where you may need a fast follow-up shot. I just cannot get used to the ergonomics of an AR no matter the configuration. I like using a gun boot on a 4-wheeler and that's not happening with an AR. Also, they are harder to master with regards to shot follow-through with all of the moving parts.
Lastly, I absolutely hate cleaning them as you have the upper, lower and BCG that needs cleaning. This is more of a process than just pulling a bolt and cleaning a barrel and wiping the bolt down.
