[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3700114, member: 35036"] With the cost of ammo, I really don’t shoot my ar or ak any. I got plenty of target practice with the platform back when I was in the Marines. I think it’s been 2 years since I’ve even shot my AR. This lever gun is similar in principle, it was the do it all trusty sidekick that the AR has become, but if you wanna shoot out much further than 100 yards then the AR is the answer. You certainly won’t be shooting coyotes (or much of anything other than maybe the broad side of a barn) with a lever gun at 300-400 yards, that’s for sure. But I would trust a 357mag rifle to take down anything in Oklahoma short of a black bear or an elk before I would a 556 AR. however, if there was a serious emergency where I needed to protect myself or my family, I would be reaching for the faithful AR or AK before the lever gun. But I’m willing to bet that I’ll spent the rest of my life hunting animals or paper, rather than getting into firefights with animals that shoot back. [/QUOTE]
