At the risk of being laughed off the board I was wondering what the opinions of an AR based hunting rifle would be? Looking to build a 300 blk or 6.8 spc
Edit: thanks for the grammar check

Barnes has some 120gr black tips in the works for bigger game. There's an article floating around of a guy who took a black bear with em.

300blk is a decent hunting round but compared to other deer rounds it's somewhat anemic. 270 and 30-06 both dwarf 300blk.
That being said, it's still effective and can be suppressed. The subsonic rounds are ridiculously quiet with a suppressor.

why not get an AR-10 or LR-308?

If it is good enough to hunt terrorist, it's good enough to hunt hogs. 
Sounds legit.

My gf and I both killed a deer with my 300 blk this year. Mine went about 20 yards and crashed, hers dropped where it stood. I shot mine at about 30 yards and she shot hers at 100 yards. It puts a hurtin on them out to 200-250 yards. I shoot a 110gr barnes tac tx, the same ones posted above on the bear but lighter. I would take my blackout over a 6.8 any day! However, if the woods I hunted weren't so thick, I would invest in the new m&p10 308 with ambi controls since I'm a lefty.

I dont know much about the 6.8, but an AR10 in 308 would probably be my first choice for an AR-platform deer rifle.
300BLK is gaining popularity and is plenty adequate for most whitetail hunting in La, but doesn't match up to many if the modern, popular deer calibers.
