Hello from the great state up north. I have been doing a lot of research on guns since I moved up here almost 2 years ago. For my first purchase I wanted an all-purpose semi-auto gun. A gun that I can take hunting as well as back-packing. First thoughts was an AR in a .308 caliber. Since I am a military guy, that is the platform that I know and am comfortable with. ARs however, really are not that accurate past several hundred yards. Thus I continued my research and was eventually introduced to the Browning BAR in .30-06. Placed the order yesterday and anxiously waiting for its arrival.
