AR10 Recommendations

Belated, buy the Colt M-4 if you want a 5.56 that holds heavier loads than the usual 55/63 grain rounds.

If you are looking for a larger caliber with longer range on a budget, maybe a S&W M&P10 in .308 winchester. I had one several years ago, but sold it out of necessity. Loved it, however. Last I looked they ran around $1100 at Cabellas.

If you really want a stopper, my son Asa Has a Bushmaster XM 15 .450 Bushmaster Carbine. That thing has rediculous stopping power. Kicks like a 12 Gauge. LOL! They run around $1100 also.
