Title: m-110, XM-110 or similiar AR frame rifle in 308
Post by: Superfly on May 30, 2011, 11:15:55 PM: Alright, with all the Ar frame madness going on out there does anyone here use one to hunt with in the 308 version. The area I hunt elk is is very brushy and shots are at 100 Yards max, so to me it makes some sense to try using the M-110 in the Carbine version chambered in 308. I was up there to today walking through the woods and thinking about how cumbersome my high powered bolt gun was and how I would be lucky to get even one shot off in the crap let alone a second quickly enough before the animal is gone. I generally dont like the 308 round for elk , but anytime the distances are less then 200 yards it has more then enough knockdown power to do the job. Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

Thanks

I like the 7mm-08 better then the 308 myself. you can get that rifle in any of the Cal's based off the 308 like the 7mm-08 and 243. Great guns and they drive tacks. They are built by Remington's sister company dpms, Remington throws some paint on it and ships it out :IBCOOL: The r-15 are built by bushmaster another sister company to Remington. 7mm-08 and 308 are plenty of gun, with the right bullets for any elk out there :IBCOOL:

Thanks
