"If polymer cases become a reality, that would really help get the weight down on the AR10"
How can the weight of a dozen brass cases make that much difference?
I own an AR 10 but haven't even scoped it--no real purpose for it at this time. AR type rifles are the "big thing" right now but I see no "magic potion" connected to the AR's. The 6.5G and 6.8 provide the AR platform with medium range medium game capability. Kept in that context, the AR has a place in the hunting tool box.
The AR 10 has big game capabilities within reason but it's a big(ger) package and tends to get heavy. Making the AR 10 lighter comes with compromises as the barrel comprises the major source of the weight.
