5. I call BS.

A .223 round is generally considered sub-optimal for shooting deer. Are you expecting me to believe a hit from a .223 (5.56) blew a hog to smithereens? I shoot .223 ARs. I'm calling BS.

Bullshit.. It's a. 223 rifle, I have shot many ground hogs and they are not vaporized, a 280# hog, doc03 Feb 2018 #69

It'd be a very good small game rifle if it had a 5 round fixed magazine. Kaleva Feb 2018 #70

The only reason people want them is because you can play around doc03 Feb 2018 #74

So you have more of an issue with magazine capacity then with the gun itself Kaleva Feb 2018 #86
