[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4075475, member: 16254"] I understand the advantages of an AR. Primarily for me it would be the vast amount of interchangable parts to keep one running as opposed to the variety of sporting guns. But I've carried both all day on predator hunts walking miles across hills, creeks, gulches, ravines, fields, etc., etc. I've only carried a bolt action sporting arm on backcountry elk and antelope hunts. Bolt action sporting rifle is king of comfort for these reasons: Weight, natural center balance point, low scope to barrel mount, smooth and rounded stock with no squared, sharp and snagging edges. AR's are great for function BUT they are not comfortable on all day hike hunts. Snagging on back packs and clothing with clip, charging handle, high scope to barrel relation mount and pistol grip handle protrusions from HELL. Plus poor balance points and location choices to hold comfortably single handed. [/QUOTE]
