I am seriously considering one of these. No, I am getting one of these.
Give me pros and cons. Mag availability. Factory support. Dependability is a biggee obviously but to take that further fit and finish.
I am looking for a short to medium range rifle to hunt whitetails and hogs with. Would also double as a defensive weapon so I'm thinking no longer than 20" barrel. Here in East Texas a 300 yard shot is a rarity but I do want it to shoot tight groups out that far (if my old failing sight will hold up).
Lastly I'm keeping this under $2K . So far I've thought about and looked at : RRA LAR 8, DPMS, & Armalite. Local shop has a Bushie but I've heard there may be some issues with Bushie supporting their 7.62 weapons. I like the AR platform so not really wanting a FAL or HK (I don't think).
I'm minimally schooled on this subject and kinda learning black guns in general, so ... school me!
I'll get to the ammo thread later.
Thanks in advance.
