My.02 cents worth is to respecfully disagree. The bolt action family of rifles are the end result of 130 years of steady trait selecton and modification to make the best hunting rifles humans have yet produced. They can be used in battle-but are best used as hunting rifles. The AR family of rifles are the result of 50 years of steady trait selection and modification to make them the best battlefield rifles humans have yet produced. Sure they are now being used as huntiing rifles-but where they shine is on the battlefield.
