I like wood and full power 30 cal if I am buying a center fire rifle.
I understand the attraction for the military but I am not packing 600
rounds into a fire fight, nor is my intent to inflict grievous wounds

There is always the AR-15's Daddy, the AR-10.

That is just taking an inferior idea and expanding to a Russian
slightly better idea. Look at the sturmgewehr, where this reduced
power round came from.

Buy an M1A and get on with your life ... out to 1000 yards.

The original AR was a 308. That is what the AR-10 is. Is nice with every
thing in line with the shoulder to reduce climb between shots.

AR-10's, at least the few I have shot, are too damned heavy for the kind
of shooting I do. And the ammo is pretty $$$.
