Does anyone hunt deer with a assualt rifle?

What about blunt silverware, like say a spoon. Could that be used as an assault weapon? How far off the original poster's question can we get lol....

I'm really looking into the Rock River Arms .308 rifles for hunting.

If I were to buy an "MSR" for strictly hunting, I would consider a FNAR in .308. 1/2 MOA accuracy out of an AR platform. Can't beat that.

Not to be a nit-picky nelly, well i guess it is (sorry, i feel like a jerk), but the FNAR is not an AR platform, its built similar to the browning autos. 

As far as accuracy goes, you can free float an actual .308 AR and with a good barrel pull close to the same accuracy.  You might be at a little under an inch instead of 0.5", but you're still talking "minute of bunny" at 400 yards. 

(Minute of bunny is a quote from a fellow Hunt WA member, so I cannot take credit for the cleverness.)

Just curious the few that have posted their AR platform rifles how heavy are they with all the 'stuff' that is put on them (extra rails, grips, etc.)?

I have not dressed up my AR with anything fancy other than a sling and a scope. Weight is not an issue when I have carried it. I think, as menitoned, the more you dress it up the more it becomes prone to hanging up on brush. Range rifle/home defense....dress it up....in the field..KISS.

Love me some animal assault rifles!





Oh yeah: Every weapon we use today to hunt was designed or perfected to kill other humans. Caveman had evil assault rocks! The black ones were especially evil!

Picked this up recently, I think it'd work great on deer.  1st bullet for the deer, the remaining 239 for zombies.  Lotta zombies where I hunt

An AR, especially on the "AR-10" .308 style platform can get heavy, easily 10-12 lbs.  Especially if you're packing a 20 or 30 round clip.  The garbage you put on them is up to you.  I have a .223 AR with a composite lower and a thin profile, non free float upper and a cheap scope and it probably weighs in at 7 lbs or so.  It is whatever you're into.

On the catching on brush component, they hauled these things all over vietnam, it isn't THAT bad.  The only things you have in addition to a standard hunting rifle are a pistol grip and a longer mag if you choose to have one.  In my case with a collapsible stock and a 16" barrel it is much shorter than my hunting rifle, and I feel like the long barrel is what gets caught on branches the most, not a pistol grip.

Yeah...but can you shoot it out a truck window at .........oh.....a watermelon?

Anyone have any experience with the Remington R-25 in .243?
