No AR's period! They're unethical no matter the caliber!

You can hunt with a 30 round magazine here in Arizona. Or 100 rounds, si quieres:IBCOOL:

Here too! It's awesome for us commoners who can't shoot.

Next year I'm going NFA 240 or maybe old school 60.

I asked my hunting partner last year when he wanted to go to the range to zero in the rifles. No kidding, his response was: "I'll zero it in on the deer."  :o

Don't any of you guys have families to harass instead to starting riots on the interwebs?  :chuckle:

I'm thinking .338 caliber or larger. Most ethical killer out there..

I'll see your 338 and raise you to 375!

I'd be fine with .277 since that's the smallest I use in this state.

I'd support that, but no pistols for hunting.

No, is this a serious question? Plenty of solid cartridges under that size

Hunting with pistols is unethical......   period.

You take that back; they're just misunderstood! You're probably just part of the spray and pray crowd anyways. You guys with your long barrels, always judging us real hunters who don't need an extra 6" of barrel to get the job done. Unethical, good for nothing, bad shooting, small bore loving, sprays and prays so and so's.......

I think my next build will be an AR pistol in 375 SOCOM just for hunting. I need a 30 round mag though.  :tup:

I

good call! As some would day "kills em deader"! ☺

Merry Christmas Yorke!


I don't just like my stuff killed deader, I want it killed the deaderest I can get it! Nothing does that quite as well as double tapped 260gr Accubonds from a 375.
