Here's an article for you, please excuse the pic of the "scary" guns: 20 Versatile Semi-Automatic Rifles
Excerpt:
AP4 LR-308
A compact version of its Long Range .308 rifle, Panther Arms introduced the AP4 LR-308 in 2005 as a response to calls for a smaller, faster and lighter AR-10-style carbine with more punch and heft than the M4 carbine. Standard features include an A3 height receiver rail, A2 front fixed sight, and a collapsible stock. A favorite of competitive shooters, it is gaining popularity with big game hunters because of its accuracy and flexibility.
Advantages: The AP4 LR-308 is better-suited for still/stand-hunting, but at 10-11 pounds (accessorized and loaded) and 38 inches long, it's not too heavy or too lengthy to stalk in timber. Its Picatinny rail upper receiver with removable carry handle provides the capacity to accept a wide range of optics.
MSRP: $1,300.

BTW, this weapon was designed for special operations forces in Iraq as an assault carbine firing the 7.62mmX51mm NATO round so it could go through walls and give some team members more punch while others with M-4A1s would have more short range firepower...
Other variants of the AR-10, designed as the big brother of the AR-15/M-16, are now used as an "intermediate marksman weapon" by the Army...
POF-USA P-415 in 6.8 SPC Spec II
Patriot Ordnance Factory Inc.'s P-415 Gas Piston Rifle features a gas-trap piston operating system that adds a gas plug, a gas piston, and a push rod while removing the gas-rings, gas tube, and gas key to the standard AR platform. The result is an AR that runs cooler, cleaner and more reliably.
Advantages: With a 9 1/4-inch barrel and an overall length under 30 inches (less than 26 inches with retracted stock), this P-415 model weighs a nimble 6.5 pounds (without magazine, accessories). The version chambered for the relatively new 6.8 SPC is suitable for deer, making this AR a good bet for stalking in timber.
MSRP: $1,0975.

Incidentally, in NYS there are only two, maybe now three, areas you can even use any rifle to hunt deer such as in Allegheny. Everywhere else one has to use a shotgun, WITH A PLUG IN IT, to reduce the ammo capacity to a max of three rounds! The idea anyone should be running around the woods hunting something that cannot shoot back with a magazine fed assault weapon is fucking "rediculous" as Elvis would say...Comment

Piers Morgan Chickens Out Of Second Debate With Alex Jones
CNN host Piers Morgan has seemingly chickened out of a second clash with Alex Jones on gun control, refusing to respond to a challenge by Jones that would have seen the two square off in a moderated debate.
On Wednesday, Jones challenged Morgan to another face-off that would follow classic debate rules, be overseen by an independent moderator and allow an equal amount of time for each speaker.
Despite the fact that Morgan has addressed Jones directly in a number of tweets since the challenge was issued, he has failed to respond to the challenge itself five days after it was made.
Whether or not Morgan is being prevented form having Jones back on the show by his CNN bosses remains to be seen, but Jones stipulated that the debate could also take place on his syndicated radio show or at a neutral venue.
During the 2013 Golden Globes last night, Morgan again chided Jones by joking, “the British really ARE coming again,” in reference to a large number of the award winners being British. During his volatile appearance on Morgan’s show, Jones made the point that the second amendment was primarily added to the Constitution by the founders as a safeguard against government tyranny in the aftermath of the revolutionary war against the British.
The CNN host has made similar haughty sideswipes in the past, previously bragging that he was, “Born (With Natural British) Supremacy.”
Over the weekend, immigration group ALIPAC called for Morgan to be fired by CNN for making on-air death threats against Alex Jones as he joked with guests on the Tuesday edition of Piers Morgan Tonight.
While debating Morgan’s contentious interview with Alex Jones, author Buzz Bissinger remarked, “But what do you need a semi-automatic weapon for?
The only reason I think you’d need it is, Piers, challenge Alex Jones to a boxing match, show up with a semi-automatic that you got legally and pop him.”
“I’d love to see that,” responded Huffington Post’s Abby Huntsman, adding, “In uniform.”
“I’ll borrow my brother’s uniform,” Morgan responded.
Morgan’s supporters followed up by expressing their desire to see Alex Jones shot dead because of his pro-gun rights stance.
Despite Morgan’s repeated claims that his gun control views are shared by a clear majority of Americans, a rally in support of the CNN host held at CNN center in Washington DC last week was attended by just four people.

That's nothing to do with his views on gun control, that's due to him being a cunt.Comment

And no, I don't think citizen to citizen sales should go through the government for a background check. If anything, it should be handled by a dealer.“If bullshit was currency, Joe Biden would be a billionaire.” - George W. BushComment
