Browning BLR in 325wsm
I was building an AR10 in .308 before the turd banned them in Canada. I figured it would be my best bet hunting in grizzly country and it not being legal to carry a pistol.Is it douchey to even build an AR for hunting? I never see them out in the field and like the look of traditional hunting rifles but couldn’t I custom build one at a proper caliber, semi auto for follow up shots, and a red dot with a magnifier in case I have to take a 300 yard shot? Just brainstorming here.

12.5” 6.8 with 120gr MKZ handloads. 1-6x LPVO on 1x. Bull was walking at 30-40 yards and got hit with 3 rounds in the lungs in probably 1.5 seconds. Went to his knees then rolled over and kicked a little bit. The combination of technique, 1x, suppressor, adjustable gas, low mass carrier, and 3.5lb flat face trigger allows me to stay in the scope and shoot fast…and accurately…Is it douchey to even build an AR for hunting?

Honestly the rokslide special - the original version tikka tx3 in a 223 with 77 GR tmk hand loads….
Thanks cnelk, my bad forgetting ColoradoThis isn’t legal in Colorado where the OP was hunting.
Yeah. You're on the right track. Work on your still hunting skills. If they are moving to fast to get a shot on 3 power then you probably shouldn't be shooting.Appreciate everyone’s input, I had my scope down to 3x, I guess it was more of an issue of how fast I’d be able to scope in and take a shot and was looking for something more ergonomic and faster to have a follow up shot. But tbh I should just focus on being a better hunter and not spooking them, I was in a really dense spot with deadfall everywhere so didn’t know if Id be better suited with another load out. CNElk had a good point, I can just look for a different area. I was just hoping I could find something close to a one size fits all but that doesn’t really exist.
