re: #240 haavamaal

5.56 is too small to hunt deer and hogs in TX. There is too much wounding the animal and not the fast kill. I am a hunter, but don’t want to hurt the poor thing. FN does not (to my knowledge) make a larger caliber rifle where as HK makes a real nice .308.

A hunting rifle is my Marlin 7-08 or my 7x57 Spanish Mauser bolt actions. Other firearms have other purposes.

The FAL is a .308 action - that’s why it’s so hard to find a 5.56 variant. Not a big deal, my bolts are quite sufficient to my real world needs.
