Can an AR even possess the potential accuracy of a precision bolt gun?
I don’t know what sort of accuracy you are referring to with precision bolt gun, but with 77gr smk’s, my AR is the most accurate centerfire that I’ve owned, I’m sure some of that is due to lack of recoil, but regardless, it was extremely accurate
I reverted back to bolt guns because I didn’t love carrying my AR in the woods, and gave the AR to my brother in law a few years ago, which I regret a little, but for a time period, it wasn’t being used and I hate guns that aren’t used, I assume get rid of them and get one that will be used…
I think if I would have discovered the kifaru gun bearer earlier, and the 223 thread was started earlier, it would’ve turned into my primary hunting rifle, but when I owned that rifle, I felt like the 223 was a marginal deer cartridge, though it worked great on the couple critters killed with it
Mine was just a stock sig m400 predator, and was disappointed finding out that my top choice in ammo didn’t shoot well (ironically enough, I wanted to shoot monos thinking I needed a bullet that held together) I just didn’t know what I didn’t know, and big for caliber match bullets shot great in it, but I thought that was a compromise for hunting
