Can't speak to other makes/models, but I run a DPMS Compact Hunter (.308) and it is a tack driver.
But does it shoot bug holes? :chuckle:

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.

The one that Biggerhammer built for me is very similar to that firearm. I like it a lot.

See how cool it is? I love showing it off. I get lots of 'Ooohs" and "aaaahs". I think the appreciation of others is half the fun. Shooting it doesn't suck, either.

Why is this under the Elk topic.  I wanna see some darn elk pictures if its in this area.  Plus everyone knows a AR platform rifle can't be used to ethically kill elk.


What have you been smoking???

What are you babbling about "ElkTopic" for, this is the "Guns and Ammo" sub-forum.

As for - AR platform not being able to ethically kill an Elk - Google .458 SOCOM AR15.

I would prefer this: http://www.marlinfirearms.com/firearms/bigbore/1895g.asp if I were going big bore on elk.  Far more comfortable to carry in the field and 2,131 fps w/Hornaday 350 RN & IMR 4198

That's a nice looking rifle. My ideal lever action would be a Winchester 94 in .375 Winchester. Plenty for Elk, and the lines are much more classic over the Marlin (in my opinion).

But....

The OP was asking about AR's.

Here's a good article about AR from thetruthaboutguns.com:

Do you know, or can you measure the total end to end length of your rifle?

Thanks
