I've got about $1000 to spend.
I currently own a .270win(POS), Marlin .22, a couple shotguns and a few handguns.
I'm looking for a gun I can plink/deer hunt with, and I'm thinking .308 AR.
But my budget is capped at $1000.
Options I'm considering...
1) LR-308 base model without the dustcover or chromelined barrel. How important is chrome and dustcover on the .308?
2) Decent .223 AR like a Bushmaster or S&W...it's legal in my state to hunt with .223 and I know people who do so successfully. Placement matters more than caliber...right?
3) Cheaper .223 like DPMS/CMMG AND cheaper AK47.
What would you do?
Thank you!!!
