My main shooting buddies will absolutely not shut up about how "impractical" of a deer rifle my 20 inch AR-10 (308) with 5-30x scope is.

If I had a desire to kill a deer with it, that deer would DIE. But, uh, not exactly the point.

(Edit to elaborate/clarify: I don't have any particular desire to hunt, so I am annoyed that my friends insist on discussing the suitability of my long distance precision target rifle for hunting. That said, if I indeed did desire to hunt with it, it would be more than adequate for the task)

    FWIW discussing hunting in /c/guns is fine but I appreciate you putting a CW out of consideration for comrades who disagree with it. We'll consider putting that in the rules to align with the broader site guidelines
