Sounds like the easiest solution would be to fit a scope for my AR. How small of game can you take without blowing it to smithereens?

There is a difference between varmints and game. ARs are near perfect for hunting most varmints and a couple of game species. Unless you intend to stuff a priarie dog or eat one There is no need to worry about damage control as I see it. The speed of sound is 1,126 ft/s. So if your bullet is traveling over that speed or twice even in some cases? {like that 270 w/ its 90 gr.Sierra HP bullet could develop} You can expect to see some nasty tissue damage. Especially if bone attempts to block the bullets path. So if you intend to eat something whether it be a deer or a Diamondback rattlesnake. The best meat saving shot you can make is one to the animals head. Any where's else besides the head it becomes a crap shoot what you will encounter when walking up to the dispatched animal. Just another opinion like the many comments made before this one.
