Thank you gents. Like I said, it's my first. I am primarily a wood stock hunter. This one is for fun, or SHTF.
They seem unconventional to me as hunting guns, but I've found the AR-10 platform to be pretty user-friendly when it comes to actual use. My .308 weighs about 9lbs scoped and loaded, and my wife and teenage daughter were shooting it to good effect from the bench this weekend, just for fun and practice. Neither are big-time shooters. The combo of the weight, action style, and soft pad make it pleasant.
