The Panther Arms DRMS LR .308 is a tactical weapon designed for Military Guardsmen and soldiers who engage an enemy., Wild animals are not an enemy.
No individual should choose a tactical weapon for hunting.
I stand behind every Soldier, serving near and far for our freedoms but tactical weapons were desinged for their use.,
those weapons were not desinged for hunting.
I would suggest buying or borrowing a Rifle more suited for the field of hunting! Welcome to the site.

Gator you didn't offend anyone here. My reply to your post wasn't an order or a demand, my reply was a suggestion,
a suggestion aimed at your best interest, like ronn says there are many organizations that are always looking for ways to
try to end our right to own weapons and/or ban hunting altogether.
Your choice to use the AR style weapons only fuels their determination BUT you have the right to use any weapon you choose to hunt with.
and once again ronn is right the AR's will perform very well but there are WAY better choices than the AR's for long range accuracy.

yeah ronns right and there's no need to be sorry Joel, I don't really care one way or the other what a hunter chooses to hunt with as long as it's an ethical kill.
what my posting boils down to is there are rifles better suited for hunting especially with regard to accuracy when compared to AR's but I never said he or anyone else couldn't use them BUT if he or others choose to use them,, their choice to use them is what fuels the anti's and other organizations and the reason those organizations don't like them used for hunting is because they (AR's) weren't made for hunting.

It's kinda like using a Tack hammer to build a house rather than using a nice 20 oz. Stanley, they'll both work but one is better suited for the job.

BB their accurate you can take a tick off a dogs a_ _ at over 400yds. with right optics.

I know all about the AR's limited accuracy.
I can take the whiskers off the same Tick with my Ruger! :whistling:

 

[BruceBruce1959]

HM, I wouldn't doubt that a bit. I'd like a weatherby but I think my Ruger would be jealous.

 

[BruceBruce1959]

mine's an M77 MKII Ultra Light Carbine

 

[BruceBruce1959]

I also qualified as an Expert with the M16A1 rifle but my shooting ability doesn't make the AR (assault rifle) a good weapon to use for hunting.

Here's another consideration on the subject of using AR's while hunting.
I have a 7.62x39 SKS Yugo. (see pic)

I've since added a scope to the rifle, so now it even looks worse.
If I use it for hunting, how will I ever explain to some unknowing, non-hunter hiking in the woods
or walking his dog thru the woods why my hunting rifle has a bayonet and a flip up sight for a grenade launcher on it.
It would be a good rifle for hunting but not a hunters best choice.

d2wing that's some attitude you've got.
I don't know why you're carrying this chip on your shoulder the way you do but I think you should take some time to rethink why you came here and why you're choosing to leave.
SO FAR here at this site you've exercised a lot of your free speech and you're beginning to understand very well what gun rights are all about.

You came in here with high hopes and beliefs that some of us would cuddle your desire to use assault rifles to hunt with.
Well I'm sorry but our site is overloaded with ethical hunters and Ethical hunters don't make exceptions they stand firm on high ground,,,
Our members are going to tell you what you NEED to hear NOT what you WANT to hear...
