AR picture thread

Do any of you fellas get the 3rd degree from other hunters on why use use an AR ? Around my house, it's normal to use anything without question....

Remember Jim Zumbo? Made a comment about keeping military rifles on the battlefield. Lost a lot of support and readers. Personally I love the AR platform for hunting and target shooting. If someone has a problem with that. Pound sand! build a bridge and get over it

Didn't you want a Creedmoor ?

I'm going to hold off on the Creedmoor, there may be a real cool 6.5 option for the AR15 here in the future. 😉

Sound very cool. Can't wait to see it! 

Me too

I'm sure Zumbo thought he was coming from a point of ethics but in reality, was just as fooled by the aesthetics of the AR platform as the anti gunners are. It's no different than hunting with any other semi-auto, especially in states which have a magazine capacity limit for hunting. I've said it many times before: we hunters need to support any method of legal and ethical hunting regardless of whether you personally practice that method. If you feel strongly enough to lobby for a rules change then go for it. Until that happens, pointing fingers at other hunters just allows the antis time to sit back and watch the fray while we all try to impose our own personal sets of values. It's BS and it hurts us.

100% agree! pianoman9701

UNITED WE STAND! DIVIDED WE FALL

Does Washington have a magazine capacity limit for hunting?  I've checked the regs and see nothing. Bought a new cmmg mk ar10 on .308 to try out this year instead of my 06.

No limit yet for big game. Federal limit on waterfowl of three. Upland limit?

[h20hunter]

Not that I'm aware of. Load up and lay down some fire!

I'll be toting the AR tomorrow for yotes....will be equipped with 10 rounds.

i think upland limit (except grouse) has a 3 shell limit as well. But havent hunted upland in a while so not 100% sure

Something wrong with your 25s and 40s?

I find that when I'm dozing off to the sound of squalling bunnies the long mags dig into my hip.

20 round Magpul mags are where it's at.

My 20s and 25s will work nicely.

Interesting looking scope mount.

Does the mount/turret obscure the holo sight?
