I've got a Bushmaster DCM AR-15. Nice for what it's meant to do, and a great trigger, but it's heavy and not really meant to have the sights messed with.
So I'd like to get a short and light upper with rails. It doesn't need to have other sights. Preferably at a lower price unless there is a clear advantage going up.
I'm not sure that I'd want to use this set up for hunting. But my state requires 1,200 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle to hunt a number of things. It looks like I might just miss the mark with standard ammo in a 14.5 inch barrel. Is it easy to get over that or should I think about going to 16"?
Or should I just leave rifle hunting to .308s and up?
