Never handled an AR, maybe I’m allergic?
M16 is another tale. Worked on pigs, water buffalo, monkeys, dinks and an elephant. That is all.
I am..........disturbed.

Yes.
The 5.56 is much more effective in the AR versus the 223 in a bolt gun. How’s that? Somebody wanna help me out here?

I tried once but their a high powered assault rifle and I was blowing the deer in half. Switched to a .300mag and it works a lot better.

I bought a nice S&W AR 15, put a Leupy 6x42 on it, shot it at the range but never really got the itch like some people do with accessories and modifications. From what I gather, they are the #1 sporting rifle these days, lots of younger shooters/hunters like them. Can't imagine anything better for hogs and maybe yotes. My son has it now, I prefer bolt actions, semi-autos don't motivate me to spend $.
$25 for a box of cartridges??? Can't remember when I saw any ammo that cheap that wasn't 22 rimfire.

Yes.
Mine is M4 style with a Timney trigger and a 4X Leupold.
With Benchmark and 55 gn. V-Maxes it will do 3/4 MOA.
Depending on the situation, it’s just to handy not to take along. Especially when the weather is crappy.

Actually who cares what someone prefers to hunt with lever bolt semi or single shot
Sounds like someone trying to defend against a liberal

they work great for varmint hunting, rabbits and coyotes. although I do feel they are weak on coyotes when chambered in 223. So on coyote I use a 6mmDTI upper. so far its done great on the 20 or so I have shot with it. the coyote hunting has been very slim the last few years due to excessive drought. YES and AR is way more than an assault rifle. its actually an excellent hunting rifle in certain applications. I also feel its easier to hit with when shooting offhand and less than perfect shooting positions compared to a regular stocked bolt gun.
