As and old deer hunter, I think AR's make good deer rifles. They are easy to carry and handle well, and mine is very accurate. I also hunt will a 7mm mag bolt action and 30-06 SA Remington. Due to shoulder injury I have started using guns like and ak type (Saiga) and an AR 15. For me the Ar is best because of the ease to carry use and light recoil. But then I don't see too many anti gun nuts in the woods, Where do you hunt? As far as the .308, my favorite is the 165 grain boattail, but 150 grain bullets are popular and do a good job. In my opinion the Ar-10 is a very good hunting weapon. I am not too worried about what a hunter shoots as most hunters are pretty safe as very few are shot by other hunters. BTW I used to be a gun safety instructor and am a qualified expert with the m16 and combat veteran. Enjoy your hunt but be careful try not to get too worked up or be a chicken poop too your fellow hunters.
That's your call. Many hunters use Ak and SKS rifles. I doubt many would carry around the grenade launcher or bayonet. they are ugly but they work. I don't think it is right to chose what another hunter can shoot.
Pretty much every rifle was designed first for combat. I stand by what I said before. I have already been told I am not welcome here. I guess free speech and gun rights are not a priority here so I'm gone. BTW sorry that some of you were offended by the term chicken poop. I thought love was not easily offended, hmmm. Bye.
Ok, one last comment. Do you think the guy that asked the question in the first place will be back? Like me, he was trying to glean useful info. I don't think he was looking to get jumped on for his choice of guns. Many veterans prefer the AR. If it's good enough to kill people for 40 years or so, it should be good enough for deer. I was looking for info, not a fight or pontification. All done now. Maybe not, Yes, I have lot's of attitude. It's one of my most charming features.
