[QUOTE="KDM, post: 243542, member: 314"] Bolt action for deer. AR for fun. Several reasons for this and JMO. 1. The safety factor of a positive lock mechanism with a bolt and lever over a sliding bolt operated by gas. 2. Shooting at a deer, or any critter for that matter, should be taught to be a one shot deal. Also, the safety factor of not having a live round in the chamber ready to go with an excited youngster on the trigger is a plus in my book. 3. Cleaning an AR SUCKS vs. cleaning a bolt action rifle. 4. Accuracy past 300 yards is much better (on average) with a bolt action vs. an AR. If it wasn't, snipers and long range shooters would shoot AR's as much as bolt actions, but that's not the case. 5. I'm not a fan of the side lever safety mechanism on an AR. Carried one for years and the thing was always catching on web gear, branches, and other crap moving it to interesting positions and I had to constantly be checking it. Top slide/lever or button safeties, to me, are much better overall. [/QUOTE]
