I think the thinking was... with deer being the most popular....max hunting pressure those weekends....they don't want people sending rifle bullets miles and miles...

Didn't know that. Wasn't into hunting when I lived there.

I've got a Colt LE 6920-R. Bought it primarily to see what all the AR-15 fuss was about, with coyote hunting as my intended utility. I may be a handgunner, but when it comes to coyotes I stop messing around and grab whatever I can kill them most effectively with. I was kinda expecting to only see like 2-3" accuracy at best, but to my pleasant surprise it'll do 5-shot, .8 MOA all day with factory 55 grain V-Max loads.
I still haven't decided whether I still want to keep it, or trade it up for an M&P-10 6.5 Creedmoor on my local store's used rack.
