I have a glock 21 45acp, ruger 10/22, mossberg 500 28 inch smoothbore, and a TC triumph 50 cal muzzy. I hunt mainly deer want to get into bird hunting but have yet to find a local to go with and not sure it is something I want to tackle myself. I want to get into turkey hopefully this fall. We have some nice turkeys around here and ok numbers. I deer hunt with my bow was going to go with a rifled semi shotgun but opted for the 50cal muzzy for range and knockdown vs a 12ga scooped.

I plan on doing some hunting in Ky or other states. SO I like the idea of the 308 though I am going to check ammo price vs the .223. I know if I get into hunting high power I will end up going to a higher end rifle vs the ar but would be perfectly happy with the AR
