    Who said anything about an AR-15? Who said anything about .223/5.56? Who said anything about only deer and antelope hunting?

    The OP said "AR." An AR-10 is an AR. So is an AR-15 chambered in deer or antelope cartridges like the 6.5 Grendel, 6.8 SPC II, .450 Bushmaster, and .350 Legend.

    Even if the OP did mean deer with a .223, it's not unheard of here in CA. With all hunting, shot placement trumps displacement. In many parts of the US, .223 is the favored pig cartridge. The Inuit Indians favor the .223 for polar bear, seal, and sea lion.

    There's also plenty of varmint and predator hunting to be done with the .223 in the lower 48. Talking about varminting, there's also rimfire AR's in .22LR, .17 WSM, and .17 HMR.

    The OP said hunt with your AR. Many of us do. I shot my last whitetail buck (8 pts) with an AR (LR308). My friend shot his last whitetail with an AR in 6.5 Grendel (220 yard shot, DRT).

      You can lighten it up dramatically with a lightweight barrel, titanium carrier, lightweight buffer, lightweight buttstock/handguard, and lightweight mount/optic.

        Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty.

            I don't live much a material life at all. Pretty stripped down to basic essentials.

            But my rifles, especially my ARs, are an extension of my identity.

                I've got a 62 grain Tac-X load at 2800 fps that I might try not pronghorn.

                That being said, I've got lighter rifles that are more comfortable to carry chambered in better cartridges, so maybe I won't bother.

                  Are there really people hiding their AR? At my local range, AR style pcc is really common, and I see a lot of people winding down with their 223 AR after practicing with their big bore bolt actions

                    No, but you'll catch the newbies at the range drooling/gawking at all the AR's

                    For some people, they are indeed the forbidden fruit.

                      If only they knew that they could have assembled one for themselves for less money than buying a Glock

                            September 2, 2019, Biden said it was “absolutely mindless” that “we don’t have elimination of assault-type weapons and magazines that can hold multiple bullets in them,”..... “I believe in the Second Amendment, but nobody says you can have a round … a … a magazine with a hundred clips in it.”

                            Joe was never very bright. He was a corrupt government official, a pervert, a plagiarist, and a straight up liar.

                            Now he's a President Joe, demented and incoherent, stupid, corrupt, pervert, plagiarist, liar.
