I'd still much rather shoot .223 Rem for easy shooting on the range, but since I can't hunt with it here I'll never buy a cool rifle like a TAR 21 or AR platform. I need a rifle that will work just as well when I'm out hunting as it will on the range, and that's probably why I'm going to get a Robinson Armament XCR in 7.62x39 with a 18.6" barrel. That makes it Non-Restricted here in Canada (okay to hunt with) and the 7.62x39 caliber has more than enough power to put down anything from deer to moose.
Plus I'll have an AR platform that I can take to the range and run through some tactical courses with.
