LOL LOL welcome to Hunt-WA.  If you stick around you will learn much about hunting and even more about human behavior.  Both are a interesting study on this website.

It's threads like this that turn this website to *censored*. Everyone knows damn well what he was asking in the OP. quit making this into some big political debate on his wording and lets get back to talking about hunting.

No we didn't know damned well. He had a single post and that often means troll. Especially with the gun grabbers lately, it's naïve to think that everyone who posts is who they appear to be. He posted again and acknowledged that his first post looked weird. It was a little weird for a single post. All seems to be good now unless someone comes along and kicks dirt on it, if you know what I mean.

Since I love guns I usually try to find my newest and most exciting one for hunting, especially bear.  My favorite bear gun so far (cause it fits nice on my bike) is the Kel-Tec RFB in .308 (or 7.62x51 NATO if we wanna make it assault weapon nomenclature).  I've also got an AR-10 in .308 for times when greater accuracy is needed.  This year though I'll be bear hunting with the .375 H&H I just picked up, unless I'm biking. Why?  Because I can and bears are formidable game.  I've also elk hunted with the RFB, but never got a shot at anything.

That is a really sweet set up for bike in hunting :tup: I like the compact size even if they tend toward heavy.

Very cool set-up, especially taking a bear with it. I sure wish I had an assault rifle.  :cryriver:

Its really nice to bike without anything on your back or compressing your chest.  I've found that the RFB really likes the ballistic Silver tip winchester 168 grain bullets for patterning.  I'm going to experiment with some handloands when I get my press set up.

I will give you my  :twocents: .  Why get upset if someone calls it an assault rifle.  I think caving in and worrying about names of guns plays into the anti's hands.  You are damn right my AR is ready for assault if I need it.  It is the point of the gun.

A fork is a fork no matter how the fork is used.  A assault rifle is a assault rifle no matter how the assault rifle is used.  This is plain silly
It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Ok here goes nothin......To the original question, if I even remember what it was :)
AR15 = lightweight, short.  .223 of course not legal for big game in WA, but you have a plethora of calibers that are legal such as. 6.8 spc,(make sure you get the SPC II chamber if you want the fastest loads) 300-350 yard maximum effective range with most bullets, pretty good amount of store ammo and reloading components available. 6.5 Grendel, similar to 6.8 under 350 yards but after that retains velocity better, not as many options as the 6.8.   243wssm, nuff said.  450 beowolf, & 458 socom & 300 blackout Im not familiar with but pretty much short range and ability to be suppressed.  AR10 is bigger brother and takes longer cases such as .308 and plenty of others.
IF you hunt with it be prepared for lots of conversations just like you see here.  Almost everyone looks at you kinda funny until you explain why.  It is pretty damn nice to have a scoped hunting rifle and when the terrain gets too thick for the scope remove the quick detach scope mounts and use the iron sights, kinds like 2 guns in 1 sexy lil package.

It's very simple. The term assault rifle is used to convince people unfamiliar with firearms that they're inherently bad firearms; that there's something about them that makes society less safe than "regular guns". If you ask most people unfamiliar with firearms what an assault rifle is, many will reply that it's a machine gun. The rhetoric surrounding the issue is very important to the eventual result of attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights. If we don't take care to be accurate about our speak on this, we proliferate the misinformation.

I understand that within this forum, the people know the difference. But that's not true elsewhere. If we can't help each other speak accurately about MSRs, then we can't expect those who are unfamiliar to learn the distinctions either.
