Up until then, my only experience with an AR type rifle was the M16 in basic training in 1970...and that experience wasn't good. The rifle never did fit me right and I couldn't shoot it well. I only qualified Marksman which wasn't too good for someone who'd been shooting for 10 years. We also had to qualify with the M14 and I got expert with my eyes closed. The rifle fit me much better and was more accurate.
When Zumbo talked about the AR not being a hunting rifle, from my experience I had to agree. I wouldn't hunt with a gun that I couldn't hit with.
