Whats wrong with hunting with ak's and ar15's? Varmit hunting with these 2 rifles is fine with me. the ar15 is a long range tack driver in the right hands. Nothing wrong at all with semi auto. Now a fully automatic would be silly lol. 7.62 round is very accurate. Good coyote round IMO.
I recieved an e-mail response from Remingtons CEO, and he said that Remington ended thier relationship with Jim Zumbo.
Check out the threads in the GUNS section.

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range.
I hunt with an SKS sometimes and consider it to be a very handy, light-weight, accurate, effective and maneuverable hunting rifle! It is a pleasure to carry afield.
I think Zumbo has become disconnected from the rest of us, and, I've posted this opinion on the blog.

I think that due to the bad publicity, Outdoor Life took the blog down. Here's what he had to say:
Quote:
As I write this, I'm hunting coyotes in southeastern Wyoming with Eddie Stevenson, PR Manager for Remington Arms, Greg Dennison, who is senior research engineer for Remington, and several writers. We're testing Remington's brand new .17 cal Spitfire bullet on coyotes.
I must be living in a vacuum. The guides on our hunt tell me that the use of AR and AK rifles have a rapidly growing following among hunters, especially prairie dog hunters. I had no clue. Only once in my life have I ever seen anyone using one of these firearms.
I call them "assault" rifles, which may upset some people. Excuse me, maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I see no place for these weapons among our hunting fraternity. I'll go so far as to call them "terrorist" rifles. They tell me that some companies are producing assault rifles that are "tackdrivers."
Sorry, folks, in my humble opinion, these things have no place in hunting.
We don't need to be lumped into the group of people who terrorize the world with them, which is an obvious concern. I've always been comfortable with the statement that hunters don't use assault rifles. We've always been proud of our "sporting firearms."
This really has me concerned. As hunters, we don't need the image of walking around the woods carrying one of these weapons. To most of the public, an assault rifle is a terrifying thing. Let's divorce ourselves from them. I say game departments should ban them from the praries and woods.
