Big game semi-auto platform

[donek6977]

I have been researching and hashing the idea of getting a semi-auto platform rifle to get into big game hunting. I'm torn between .300, .308, and .338. I am not finding what I want with .300 so far but I haven't put it out. I am concerned about price of course but I prefer quality all the way. Can anybody point out some recommendations?

What are you hunting, how far are you shooting, and how far are you carrying it?

I hunted with a Browning BAR in 7mm Remington Mag for many years. It performed very well and I highly recommend that rifle and caliber. It worked well on every elk and deer. It was accurate and functioned without any problems or issues.

Not for long distances , but a big bore upper is great for under 200 yrds. Or under 150 in my case. I opted for the 450 bushmaster upper. I love my BAR, but its too pretty to drag around the woods.

Second the Browning BAR in 7mm

AR-10 in .308 would be my choice. Big game and tactical value. A little pricey at first, but hey...you are going to keep this gun forever.

I have hunted with my DPMS LR-308 (16", collapsible, etc), chambered in .308. I have zero complaints with doing so.

If you don't have an obviously short 5rd mag, you may get asked to demonstrate that your magazine cannot hold more than 5 rounds, but that only happened to me twice in two years.

RPG. You didn't want to eat any of it, did you?
