I'm not against the AR platform but know almost nothing about them. I am considerably more well-versed with bolt actions. To be honest though, the 30 rd mags would be a nice thing to have in SHTF situations.
I own a 7mm Rem Mag, 270 Win and 17HMR but would like something that has a flatter trajectory than the 270 and is between the .177 and the .277 cals. I also own a 10mm semi-auto carbine but the mags are only 10 rds.
Maybe an AR10 in 243?
I am anxious to hear your recommendations. Especially if they are based on actual huntng experiences.
Mountain lion complicates it. I prefer to shoot critters that can kill me with a lot more gun than I shoot non dangerous game with. I am thinking 243 Winchester or 6mm Creedmoor.
