Hi shooters,
So I got my lifetime combo and am really wanting to hunt this year. Here my dilemma...... I don't really have a deer hunting rifle. The two rifles that I own are my ar, and ak. My ak is just a plain Jane, no scope. My ar has a nice mil dot scope. Should I go with the ar? If yes then what type of ammo should I get, would it be ok for deer? This is going to be my first year hunting. My first choice is the AR but I'm not sure if the round is good for deer, I know the 7.62x39 would be better for hunting deer, but I don't know about it's accuracy compared to the ar. Any advise would be appreciated, and I mean any. I'm open to any opinions you guys got. What type of ammo would you recommend for either rifle, and which rifle would you recommend over the other and why. I also have a 12ga, I have a moss berg 590, which I'm okay with, and a western field (it's like a moss erg 500) which I'm a decent shot with.
P.s my ar is a 20in barrel with 1:7 twist. Ak is a wasr10
