I use 10, 20, 25 rd Pmags. Also have 20 rd Larue mags that are really nice but $79 each. All function & cycle the same so I typically grab Pmags since they are lighter weight and I wont be too upset if I lose one.

all out war on feral hogs


This is what I'm looking at it for. I have a 6.8 now. Do y'all find the weight on the AR 308's to be an issue for spot n stalk situations?


Not at all my MK3 CBR is only around 8 1/2 pounds with 1-4x scope on it.


LR .308 Recon is less than a ten pound rifle. My scopes add quite a bit of weight. Offhand or supported, the rifle is doing a good job for me. Last weekend, talking to Judd at the range, I opened the driver door with the truck running and said "I want to try something". Rested the rifle on the window ledge and pinged the 500 yard steel, standing, right handed shot. Judd- "I hate you" grin

Thanks for all the replies everyone, it is providing some good data.

My newly acquired CMMG MK3 weighs 7.6 pounds without magazine or optics. I'm guessing 10lbs once it's ready to hunt, making for a very easy walking rifle

I went in search of a double Mag holder to go on my belt. No dice, found Blackhawk single Mag holder, and did get a couple. I had an idea for one Mag holder to stack two mags. So one close to your body, and one layered next to it. That's how I carry two 10 round A.I. mags while shooting matches.

Mine is a 7mm-08, but bigger game and target shooting.

I never worry too much about needing to change mags when hunting hogs,I usually only kill what I'm going to eat. If we are taking out a sounder of hogs,we just bait them,and 1 shot into 7-10 pounds of tannerite does the trick. Plus,it leaves a big hole in the ground to bury them in.

Doesn't work that way in my A.O. Keep the rifle ready when driving the county roads, go out and actually hunt, and you may catch a 20 head sounder on open ground. I'm going to kill every one I possibly can. Last time that happened I had a ten round mag in, and had to do a mag change in the middle of the shooting.
