Do you rifle hunt with an AR15???

[flufster]

mike d, you beat me to it.....lol, we used to always pull our plugs after dove season for quail hunting....i like the smaller clips though for the ar because they arent as bulky and hang up on stuff

I have been on a few culling hunts and we used 223's or 22-250. Use what works for you. I used the 60 grain nosler and it di very well on body shots. The shots were all 100 yds or less. I wanted some more power and low recoil, so I just got done building a 6.5 grnedel upper.

That's not what it says here:

I stand to be corected. I was told that a long time ago and it sounded lagit. This is very good news.

I sould have done my reserch first before i posted.

In TX you cant hunt deer with a gun that hold more than 5 rounds or hunt birds with a gun that holds more than 3 rounds.

My quail gun will hold 10. My pig/coyote/p-dog/varmits in general can hold 100. Migratory birds must be hunted with 3 or less, except late season snow geese.

Does that count the one in the chamber? Is it 3 TOTAL or hold 3 and one in the chamber making it 4?

I have never worried about this because I only have a single shot. But I borrowed a pump from a buddy for the upcoming dove hunt. I think it will hold 3 plus one in the chamber.

2 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber.....3 TOTAL.....for migratory birds....


double check the mag...if it holds three you need a longer plug.

I have that same gun but I had to rebarrel it and went with a 22" w 1 in 7 twist. I loves anything that is stuby like the 40 BT through 60 V-max's.

Ar's make great deer rifles.....By the time I was 10 I had a whole pile of deer that I had shot with my SP1 Colt carbine.., just choose the best ammo for your barrel and make good shots...

Yeah, I recently bought a couple of 20 rounder for that very reason. The 30 rounders are just to long to get a steady rest with.

I have been on a few culling hunts and we used 223's or 22-250. Use what works for you. I used the 60 grain nosler and it di very well on body shots. The shots were all 100 yds or less. I wanted some more power and low recoil, so I just got done building a 6.5 grnedel upper.

I believe 6.5 Grendel will be my next upper. I love the 6.5mm caliber. What is the other 6.5 that's available? I know there are a few companies loading factory rounds for it.


ON EDIT: 6.5 Creedmor. Tuff, what can you tell me about this round?

[In-Yo-Grill]

My buddy has one with a night vision scope that I want to try out on some piggies.

from my l"ive", but not really live hunt thread....

I'd have no problem taking a doe with this rifle. I'm not sure I'd personally go after a buck with it, but when my boys are older, I plan on letting them shoot deer with it, under a closely supervised environment, where I know shots will be taken under a certain distance.

Why would you distiguist between a doe and a buck. They are both deer?

I guess I should be more clear... there are a couple places I hunt, where I can only shoot a doe, and the odds of getting a shot at a doe closer within 150 yards or so, where I would feel more comfortable shooting a deer, would be better.

If I were at my lease, where the chance for a 300 yard or greater shot existed, and the chance for a buck that could come out 20 yards or 400 yards was there, I wouldn't take a shot with the AR...
