what do you mean by a full SWAT rifle??? a M-4 carbine tricked out with flashlight and the whole 9?? i guess you COULD hunt with that.....but it wont be AS accurate as a varmint tricked out one...you can trick them and get them to be REAL tack drivers....i had a bunch of stuff bookedmarked on the old PC about it....i was going to build one for accuracy....but something else came up and didnt.....i was only looking at 1200 or so for a rifle that should been a real tack driver.....ill still do it one day sooner or later....a good quality AR-15 set up for varmints or not will still shoot pretty good with a good shooter behind it...
