You say you know nothing then post this kind of rubbish which indicates you think you do.. You are a troll and nothing more or less. Go find some other way to assuage you ego, no one here is impressed with you, I think there is something wrong with you mentally. Do yourself and us a favor and disappear. I sincerely doubt you have any intentions of ever hunting or ever did. Don't go away mad, just go away, and as soon as possible.
Oldtimr, you misread my OP. You may need to please put on your cheaters for reading. I was saying 5.56 was NOT for deer. I was asking if .308 was for gophers. Anyway, I have just added Oldtimr to my iggy list.I have a feeling this site might be grumpy old geezers.
My OP was a serious one about the AR platform for game-taking and varmint-killing.
