for my own entertainment i am drawing out designs for a AR hunting rifle for mossberg ( who i have already talked to about them). and i was wondering what would you guys want in a hunting style AR. I already have put down walnut furniture.
 
IMHO, I would have 0 use for an AR in any hunting situation. Even you try and doll it up with wood. Kind of like putting perfume on a pig.... But that's me...
 
If you draw better than you spell, it could be interesting otherwise I fear the creature you may come up with. FrankenHutning ARrrrr...
Pretty heavy subject & first post for a Newbie. Troll on a stroll?

But since you are asking, it would be nice to fit a solar or battery operated hand warmer. So damn cold this time of year for my pretty hands.
 
If the resulting rifle looks like an AR platform, the authorities will likely declare it restricted, defeating the entire purpose of designing it as a hunting rifle.
 
He may be American and not understand that in Canada there never will be any such thing as a "Hunting AR".

And it is an AR anyways. The whole point is that it can be customized by the user for the user.

Designing one for the specific purpose seems silly to me.

And wood furniture just seems retarded on a modern firearm IMHO. If the user wants wood, they are likely going for a typical hunting platform, not going to pick up an AR just cuz it has wood.
 
My RA XCR-L with uppers in 223 & 6.8SPC makes a good coyote and deer gun... :)

Well, for an AR hunting rifle platform I would really like an AR. At this point there's really not much more you can do, and I think most companies would rather save the thousands, if not millions, of dollars of R&D costs. As is, we already have AR uppers for .22lr, .223 Remington, .223 Wyld, 5.56x45, 7.62x51, .308 Winchester, .300 AAC Blackout, 6.5 Grendel, and probably a few dozen others that run the gamut from shooting chickens to shooting elk. The rifle has been proven to be effective, in one configuration or another, from ranges out to as far as is feasible to shoot. We don't need a new "AR-type" rifle, we need ARs.

But, sadly, the ARs are bad and scary and evil and the government will not likely ever be convinced otherwise.
 
AR's are the work of Satan!

THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

I would hunt with a sporterized or purpose built in a suitable caliber (not from mossberg mind you). They are just
tomorrow's milsurps. Alas, they are they are as terrifying as lawn darts above the 49th parallel, so pretty much a moot point.
 
Skip the R&D and petition the Canadian Government to take the AR off the restricted list. Then get some AR platforms in winter camo, mossy oak and sell them in hunting calibers with 5 round mags. Pricing them around teh cost of a non-AR semi hunting rifle would help as well.
 
Hey Camp Cook, its the 6.8,100 grain Accubond , SSA brass, wolf primer over 29.2 grains AC2200. Worked fine at about 160M, broke part of shoulder going in, destroyed "stuff" inbetween shoulders and ruined offside shoulder. Deer spun in a circle and fell down. Only thing is couldn't find bullet, but like I said we were in a hurry as buddys truck died just north of Sk/montana border. You can drive for a long time out there and not see anything resembling civilization so we figured better get on it! Hoping to try a 95 TTSX on a deer in WT season. As for best deer , well, I sure wish I could have got the one we were after. Next year!
