As to the question of how far you can put a lethal shot on an animal. That has too many variables to answer. How good can you shoot? What size animal is it? What bullet is it? What caliber is it? Ect ect ect. 

I run burger hunting hybrid hunting bullets out of my .308. They have a great BC down range and shoot 1/4-1/2 minute out of my rifle. (Larue tOBR). With a solid rest and light winds I will shoot on an elk out to about 500m knowing I am going to make a good shot. During the summer I shoot the same load out over 800m but I don't feel confident getting wind and range for a good 1st shot kill at that distance.

The .260 shoot flatter and hits harder than then.308. Want to get a .260 barrel for my tOBR next. Hope this helps more than it confuses.

I usually take my 450 Bushmaster. However, I plan on using my Adams Arms SF 308 a few days this year.

I'm torn about how to set up the sling for her on it though. Any suggestions for comfortable and safe hunting carry with a sling would be appreciated.

I've hunted with AR's for many years. I use a 2 pt sling and its great.  Viking VTAC or Magpul 2 pt sling.

You end up wearing the rifle not carrying it. All the weight is on your shoulders and it allows you to glass, take a leak, etc hands free. Works good with pack too! Keeps rifle at the ready and can be slung and sinched on you back if needed. Here's a pic of me and my 450 Bushmaster hunting a few years ago to give you the idea..

I'll second the two point.

I'll use HK snap hooks and loops so I can change it remove etc.

Lousy pic of a loop.

+1 on VTAC..  Light, comfortable, very flexible.  I run them on all my ARs and some bolt guns.  Add a D-ring and a cuff for lots of stability.

Yep, a HUGE fan of the V-tac sling, get the padded model. I think an AR10 is the absolute best "brush" gun available.
