Haven't had a guy turn down Cerakote yet
Quote from: jrebel on December 28, 2015, 02:10:02 PMI tried getting into the fad of the ar style rifle and just couldn't. Here is what changed my mind and why I chose not to hunt with them. 1. They are very heavy2. They are very loud.....I don't walk with one in the chamber and when I went to chamber a round, it was very loud. Imagine metal on metal with spring sound while trying to chamber a round. Anything withing 500 yards will hear you. If you hunt from a stand or blind and can sit with a round chambered it would probably work well. They are fun and the recoil is very light in comparison to bolt rifles. I still shoot .223 and even take it coyote hunting once in a while but for big game I prefer my bolt guns. Defiantly not a fad. As technology advances so do hunters. The bolt gun will go to the niche market just like the lever actions did.#1 Mine is not noticeably heavier than a similarly equipped bolt rifle.#2 Closing the bolt on a AR is no louder than closing one on a bolt gun. Unless you just pull the charging handle back and let it fly.

More related to the OP's question than my first response:I have been considering building an AR10 for hunting elk in the rainforest. Shots are generally well under 75 yards. While the last two elk have been bang flops, I think being able to sneak a second round into an elk and give you a bit more blood to trail could be handy in the deep dark wet rain forest.
The .338 Federal would be a tough one to beat in close.
