Blackdog,

Maybe I was too harsh on you, with 2 kids ( I raised 5) and house expenses, the rifle that makes the most sense for your first is the AR-15. Unless you reload (I did not get that sense) the 308 will be a lot more expensive to shoot unless you get a rifle that uses surplus NATO ammo. An M4 style AR is a lot more fun to shoot and will be the one you take out a lot more than 3-4 times a year. It is a good target round as well as an excelent varmint gun from parrie dogs to coyotes. And can be used efectively for SD.

But that's just my opinion. You could go with a AR-10, but you are back into the 308 round and cost.

Tough choice, but the AR-15 makes more sense. Then start saving and get your 308, I am sure it will be a bolt gun. (lighter, more accurate and a decent hunting round)
