I have to disagree with Dog on this one. You must not do any bow hunting cause a good sharp broadhead can deal death very quickly and not make much noise. It makes a heck of a hole also.

Re: Best rifle for Long and Short ranges
Again if you want an AR check the DPMS 308L. I like the brand cause it has not failed me yet. It does come in 6/5 Creedmore, but you don't pick up the ammo at mom and pop's corner store.
