I haven't finished my 223 varmint rig yet and I am already thinking of starting another EBR. I want to pose a question to the board I have owned many bolt guns in many calibers but this ar bug got me bad and I fear that in Nov. something might change so I'm on the overtime now and hope to have 2 more before the Dems come in..Here is my question the next AR needs to be for larger game deer,wild boar,ect.. but I want it to be accurate and flat shooting and also economical to reload so could you guys help me with some caliber recommendations..Thanks

Most here ide guess would say AR-10 , its 308 caliber,, flat and accurate..
I wouldnt be surprised if an AR-15 with the right set up could take down some of those too.
