To me, this whole AR-15 big game cartridge business is like trying to make a pickup truck out of a Pinto. Just buy a Damned pickup truck!
If I want to hunt big game with an AR (I don't) Give me an AR-10 in some kind of '08 based cartridge, most likely a 6.5/08. Even then I am not going to be really happy about it because to me, medium to big game cartridges all burn 70-90 grs of powder and push monolithic bullets with a good BC and SD out the snout at 3000fps or more and 3500 or more is better still.
Nothing that will run in an AR is ever going to be a 257WBY or a 7mm Mashburn Super or a 340 or a ......
And they are heavy for the amount of power you get, and ugly.
I have had a few, got a really nice one with a Schneider barrel and Jewel Trigger for sale right now and wen it sells I will probably will get another. But a proper big game rifle, they ain't.
LOVE God, LOVE your family, LOVE your country, LIKE guns and sports.
