This is coming from what used to be a die hard Bolt gun shooter ..600-1000yd comps were my ticket.. Precision shooting .. could not have given me an AR 10 years ago..
Now with the advent of CNC machining producing precision repeatable close tolerance parts, larger AR calibers, scopes and accessories for the AR . that is all I use now to hunt with.. Using mainly the grendel..
This is how I put it .. Always going for the kill shot .. but deer tend to move,, now I have an instant second shot if I get a bad shot . (hate to ever wound an animal) and the Ar is just as accurate as most bolt guns.. I can shorten the gun for climbing adjust the length if its really cold and I am wearing extra clothing , later on I can throw on a light and laser and play tactical or go to a 3 gun match.. They are just so adaptable..
for varmints, a AR with a quad rail I can mount a nite vision easily plus a magnifier, drop on a bipod you name it is easy to do with an AR
