do not disagree, but there are reasons for a big cal. 1 with my gun list this rifle will the only one I buy in the next few years, my hope is to do a elk or bear hunt in 2012 or so, needing a new rifle then would only delay that. 2 I will be doing a ky hunt in 2011 or 2012. IF I go AR it will double as a home defense gun. to me the .223 is to small and the 243 ant much bigger
