The only reason I prefer and carry an AR as a truck gun is pigs. For me it’s the easiest to shoot and most effective combo that I can use to lay down multiple pigs before they hit the brush. The fact that 4 20rd mags fit neatly in my door pocket is a handy bonus.
If I lived where the only truck gun targets were crows, bobcats, coyotes and the like I’d be perfectly content with one of my bolt rifles in the back seat.
