Thinking about an AR10

[Sawin]

I've built a pile of AR15's over the years but didn't build my AR10. Wilson Combat built me a Tactical Hunter in 7mm-08, and it's my absolute favorite rifle that if I had to choose 1 and only 1 for the rest of my life it would be it. It's that perfect.

I recently got a Ruger SFAR in 6.5 CM with a 20 inch barrel. This is the version that comes with the PRS Lite stock and full pic rail hand guard. I am planning on swapping is the trigger to an AR Gold. The Stock trigger isn't horrible, it actually has a pretty decent break at 4lbs. I simply prefer the AR Gold triggers as they feel very similar to a 1911/2011 style trigger pull I am used to.

I won't be surprised if I have to swap the gas block with a full adjustable version as it being Over/Under gassed with the stock adjustable gas block settings seems to be a normal complaint.

I still need to get a Thermal optic for it for Night Hog Hunting, then I will be able to get some rounds down range with it. THEN I will see if its a Dookie Rocket or not....

My use case for this boom stick is Night Hog Hunting within 300 yards. When I was shopping around for AR-10 platforms it sees like the Ruger SFAR should be good enough accuracy wise for the use case at a pretty inexpensive price point.

Its really easy to go down an expensive rabbit hole and not know what to get or build if you don't first define the primary use case or purpose of the gun. For example, you don't need a sub 1 MOA rifle to give Hogs a proper dirt nap within 300 yards. If you are trying to consistently hit small stuff at 1000+ yards, that is another story.

Know your use case then build/buy what is needed based on that.

I’ll throw in the Larue Tactical rifles. I’ve owned a couple of Predatars that were damn good shooters, but not quite precision guns due to the light barrel getting stringy when good and hot.
