Really can't stress the light think enough. I puffed my m1a all around the hills looking for elk and it made for a difficult time.

I went out last year with my POF... Wish it was lighter... [Beer]
But ACCURATE! Mine has given several Sub MOA groups with DAG surplus, and with 168 SMKs is sub MOA all day long. All this with a battle heavy trigger. The next purchase will be a trigger for this gun. My only gripes with my LR .308 are the unrefined trigger and the noticably sharper recoil vs. the lighter bolt guns I have.Quote:

I don't think that the .308 AR platform really makes much of a big game gun, but obviously others disagree. The design carries a lot of weight penalty for features that aren't really relevant to elk or deer hunting.
Make sure you can find 5 round magazines for it.
i would never carry my ar10 for big game hunting...2 heavy. RRA 20", no way in hell. I like my browning ss stalker 6lbs...running vs lugging, your call.
Texan Chiming in here, but a lightweight barrel in iether 16" or 18" seems like it would work nicely.
If your really wanted to go lightweight, you might look at 6.8spc in a LW barrel. (I don't know your CO laws, I assume it is legal, I may be wrong).
yeah it is legal. Big game needs to be .24 of larger caliber.Quote:
