>>1380598>>1380842>>1380867Trying to hunt in Washington or Oregon, which would go the furthest in terms of my first personal boom stick to kill what's common in the hunting circles around here?
In order of want: (I eventually want them all, and more).
Option 1: .308 bolt action, common round, middling prices for ammo, I have basic rifleman fundamentals.
Option 2: AR lower, get different uppers for 223/556, sideload 6.5 or 50bmg bolt action uppers (I kinda want this for the flexibility and my comfort and familiarity with the M16)
Option 3: .22LR, I can get this for small game and practice fundamentals for a bolt action chambered in a more "specialty" cartridge.
