My 30-06 Remington will have a longer range and much more take down power, but I prefer the AR because of the lack of recoil. Although I will never label myself as a veteran, I trained for 3.5 years in the ROTC every single day carrying around an M16 and quite a few weekends shooting and using an M16 and I grew accustom to it. I love it for its lack of recoil, accuracy, and mostly reliable action. Right now I have really messed up shoulders as some of the people on here can attest to, so shooting my 30-06 actually causes pain… which is why I will be hunting all small game next year with my AR and only using my Remington for big game. > > So tell me again how an ‘assault weapon’ is only used for killing people… I don’t think it’s legal to hunt with a .223 in NY. Mainly due to the fact that it will not be a very clean kill. What are you hunting?
