CMMG is selling Bargain Bin flattops for $570 right now...will need to buy an optic or sight to mount to it, so add that and the cost of a few magazines (check to see if your state has restrictions on hunting with hi-capacity magazines or not)--but be sure to get a few 30 rounders just in case (you never know when those are gonna get hard to buy/expensive again, like during the 10 years of the "assault weapon ban")
