So now your comparing a AR semi auto to a bolt action ?? and to that I say a bolt is safer than a AR(I own both BTW)at least in the quickness that one can be fired....yep, I can just see a guy now at Kingsbury with a .308/7.62 AR flat top platform and a 50lb Doe tries to run across blood alley there...it would sound like HE!! fire night with a Battalion on line when they all open up at once... it has been discussed on here some time back about limiting slug guns to 3 shots after a hunter was killed when another fired multiple shots at a deer and he was killed on the 4th or 5th shot....anyways..... I will press for no centerfire rifles.... I believe it would be a mistake for the herd and for safety sake
