[QUOTE="infoman jr., post: 4520129, member: 2046"] Pros: -Caliber interchangeability. There are plenty of capable calibers for deer available. I'd put 6.5 Grendel near the top although with a proper bullet, a .223 will do just fine. -Ergonomics. It's nice to be able to have your right elbow (for right-handed shooters) on your knee or treestand and have a vertical grip on the gun. It's much more natural for me. -Ease of carry. I carry mine slung across my chest which allows me to have my rifle slung while carrying a treestand on my back. I can't do that with a bolt gun. -Modularity. If I collapse my stock and remove my suppressor, I'm left with a nice, compact gun to carry around. The adjustable stock might also be useful to adapt to increasing clothing layers or to fit a smaller shooter. -Semi-automatic operation. You con't have to break your shooting position to reload. (bonus: you can put a hand warmer in your grip core to keep it warm.) Cons: -Loading that first round can be loud until you get a system figured out that works for you. -You reloaders will lose a couple of pieces of brass a year.
