I hate AR's

Carry one with me everyday and I actually do dislike them. They just do nothing for me.

So this one should be up for sale soon then?!

Looks great

Swap you for a dollar.

Nice rig. I’m not a NF guy anymore. How does it shoot and what cal?

Lot of money tied up in something you hate

Ar’s have no soul unlike that garand you have

ARs are a Sawzall.

I would rather use my Porta-ban, my vertical band saw, my plasma cutter. But sometimes the only tool for the job is a Sawzall. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Tool for the toolbox.

Ya gotta clean the action and the BCG fairly frequently. And they must be well lubed all the time.
They will never shoot as tight as a bolt action.
But, they have their place.

Like a sounder of pigs

^^Exactly

I’m not an AR guy either.
But every American should own one.

FIFY

Same here. Hate the damn things but they have a purpose.

I hate all gas guns. Even gas shotguns.

Will it fit in your new truck ??

Definitely not in the bed.

Bingo! I'm a blued steel and wood guy. But, I grab the sawzall quite often because it's a very useful tool.

Good lord, you're an a-hole sometimes.

I didn't own an AR for a while. Even though I'm not crazy about them, it just feels un-American to not have one. So I do. Had two, but gave one to my brother because I told him all red-blooded Americans need one. We both have Rugers - mine is a mid-level model and his is lower end. Both work well and are fun to shoot.

Lol.

I try!

One less punch on your man card if you don't have one.

This ones not mine. My Buddy wanted a new rifle for our prairie dog hunt next week. He told me his budget, I told him he could get a great BOLT ACTION rifle, gave him some suggestions. He insisted on an AR, He wanted a 6.5 Creedmoor. Scheels had this 6mm Creedmoor , in stock. I told him about the caliber, fast, accurate and deadly BUT in a AR Platform some shoot lights out, some shoot lights on.

He bought this rig, with a $335 bipod, $130 case and he's about $600 out for ammo. He got about $6K all in with taxes.

Thing weighs a TON he's a tall , muscled up guy, so I guess he can handle it. Gun is definitely built for sitting or prone.

Me, I own one AR, its in pistol configuration.

AR's are a gun for a different forum

Hogs hate em too

That's the only thing I dislike about my 7-08 AR. It really is a rifle meant for stationary use. I wouldn't want to haul it around all day. The flip side is recoil is almost nonexistent due to the weight and caliber.

I hope your outfitter allows ARs on prairie dog hunts. Several I have looked at won’t. I bought a bolt gun last year because it opens up other places to hunt.

I also would not want to feed a 6mm creedmore AR on a weekend prairie dog shoot. I easily shoot 300-400 times in 2 days of shooting.

A fool and their money.

No it's not built for prone, no AR is.

Wouldn't want to feed it either.

300-400 rounds a day is my norm.

.223 Rem is the best choice for the prairie dog towns. Even though I've been using a .22-250. Once the barrel is cooked (and it's close) I'm out of the .22-250 business.

I have five but have never had the warm fuzzies for them. They are a tool that gets the job done. Nothing more, nothing less.

They don’t do much for me

I bought one 14 years ago. Took it out twice and shot a few magazines through it, maybe 50 rounds. Been in the safe since.

Agreed. Two is one one is none.

I wasn't in to them much. But if I want 556 204 6.5 or anything else, just swap the lower.

Some fools just got plenty o money

I have a few ARs and I like them but I actually prefer the Mini 14. Too bad they don’t shoot as well as an AR.

I have 3, don’t carry them in my truck, I know what they are for

If you don't own enough AR's to outfit everyone on your block, well then you ain't American I do my part. But hey, I think I read the wrong kinds of books.

One of mine I carry in my truck because I know what it's for.

I agree! Take the time to get to know an M1 and you'll never want to part with it.

haha, the collective consensus is about how I feel too. I got a couple ars that I like and maintain, both keeping the skills adequate and firearm operable. BUT i love some my bolt guns the more I shoot. The 223/556 in in a bolt gun i highly underrated, IMHO. I even have an ar set up more for long range and I still love the wife's 223 tikka more by a country mile.

I own an AR for only one reason. That is, to be better prepared to defend my family and property should I ever find myself in a position where local law enforcement is being overwhelmed. Until then, it's pretty much a safe queen.
