So I just finished my hunter safety class and am hoping to start deer hunting this fall. Never hunted before. I'm looking for a rifle, and am looking for suggestions. The thing is, though, that I don't really like the way a civilian rifle feels in my hands. I'm much more comfortable with an AR style rifle, so I was thinking about getting either an AR-10 or AR-15. Which are 7.62mm/.308 or 5.5mm/.223. Just wondering what you all have to say about it. I'll be hunting mainly white tail in Missouri, which means closer shots due to it being woodland, and maybe also using the same gun for boar.
Thanks,
Steve
