I’ve got about 1200 in it but with that FES upper and stock lower, you could do something similar in the 900 range. What’s nice about AR’s is you can upgrade anytime you want. Kinda like Legos for big boys.

Yotes and hogs are very different targets engaged at generally very different distances and locations, at least in my neck of the woods. I have shot many of each with my .223/5.56 AR platforms, iron sights, scope and holographic. Everyone has a different take on things, but I have gravitated to a Windham 7.62x39 AR platform with a Nikon Buckmaster scope and really love it for hogs and yotes. You will hear said that each species requires a dedicated gun or caliber or tht 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 is the ticket and that may very well be, but for me my little Windham is kinda like the 30-30 of old. Just a good all around gun down in the bottoms and around the pastures.

Just my 2 cents...

You can easily build your own AR, but if you haven’t really been around them or don’t have a buddy that has been built one, I would just buy a factory rifle and call it good.

As mentioned before I really would recommend the 6.5 Grendel as well. Arguably, it’s the best caliber for the ar-15. And I could t agree more that you can get cheap plinking ammo, and shoot as far as 1000 staying supersonic with quality ammo. With ar’s you don’t need to buy anything that is top of the line, but I certainly wouldn’t buy bottom of the barrel either.

Just a few companies to look at:

Bravo company
Rock river
Colt
Rainier arms
Armalite
Sig
Seekins
Spikes

Honestly, there’s a laundry list of companies that are decent. In my experience, you are much better off spending 800 minimum as a general rule.
