I do. Easy to get it to fit you. Don't like something, replace it. Don't need to pay a Smith or anything either . Load and loads of cartridges to pick from as well smile will say though they can be a little trickier to shoot compared to bolt guns.

Go to coyote gun during the winter my cat trapping area is 50 miles away so opportunities pop up several times during the winter months. 20rd clips as the are best not as bulky like the 30s.

I do hunt coyotes with an AR have for many years. It’s great for quick follow up shots and multiple coyotes at once. We push them a lot and many times they are running shots.

6.5 Grendel is my go-to AR15 caliber for hunting wolves&blacktails

Grendelhunting.com has everything you need for a build (NOT cheap)

I have used them in 5.56 for coyotes and one deer. 300 black out for several deer. They work but there are better calibers than both I have.

I do like wolfie. 10 round mag for hunting. If I cant hit after ten shots critter ought to get away. Big mags are for playing. I have a few and hope I never need them.

i don't hunt with them but I do use them for keeping pests out of the yard, garden-eating groundhogs, chicken-eating fox, etc.


Eh...wot?

Used a Rock River .223 as my winter snow machine gun for wolves and caribou. A 10 round mag is 5 more than you need for a daily limit of caribou.

Used to shoot prairie dogs with mine.
