If you keep it clean and lubed properly the bolt goes in quite easily most of the time

Once or twice. At least one time I was riding the bolt forward for stealth before we hit a house.

Yes, I use it when hunting in or near the woods to close chamber after easing the bolt down with CH so not to allow the loud slap of chambering a round.

Just curious friend, what are you hunting with an AR ... I'm assuming you're referring to an AR15? I know what assuming does for us both, so correct me where I'm wrong.

In a lot of states you can use an AR15 to hunt deer. Not much diff a round than a .243. My 8yr old son at the time killed doe with an AR15. Long ago.Just curious friend, what are you hunting with an AR ... I'm assuming you're referring to an AR15? I know what assuming does for us both, so correct me where I'm wrong.
Most folks hunting with an AR refer to a .308 AR10 though, but not always.
I use an AR10 for hogs and deer all the time. Legal in my state with no magazine round limit.

Usually pigs but deer also, 300BLK AR-15. Other times Mini 30 (it's easier to quietly chamber a round). When 'extra' Big gnarly boys are on the camera then the 30-30.Just curious friend, what are you hunting with an AR ... I'm assuming you're referring to an AR15?

My Sig 516 is my primary hog gun, sent many to the train station with that rifle. I use a 7mm magnum in a Browning Safari II for deer
