Pick187 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hello all, I found this place as I was on a quest for knowledge about 308 in a AR platform. I first fell in love with the AR platform during my time in the military and I have had one ever since. A couple of years back I was introduced to pig hunting and haven’t looked back. I have been looking for a perfect pig gun ever since. I needed something with some power, but lightweight to go where I needed to go. I looked at everything from 45-70 lever actions to .450 bushmasters to 6.8. I decided to go to the AR platform after much discussion from people I know and others around the country about how you can’t hunt with an AR. I then decided to go with the 308 due to better access to ammo. I originally decided on a Larue Predator. When I knew the gun craziness was going to hit I went and got what I could and ended up with a bushmaster ORC. I cleaned the shelf of 308 mags, which by the way the store clerk thought I was crazy when I said you wouldn’t be able to find one of these in a week. I still plan on getting a Larue, but for now I am pleased with my Bushmaster. I have had a few Bushmasters and never had any issues so I hope my luck continues. I am currently getting my accessories together and the weekend of April 13th I hope for it to kill it first of many pigs. This deer season I hope it will be used to kill my Son’s first deer. I will try and post some before and after pics of its transformation into what I want and hopefully some dead pig pics. I hope to find lots of good info here.
