Reply to comment by GeorgeCrossPineTree in We’re Washington Post journalists who spent the past months investigating how the AR-15 became a symbol of the gun control debate, political identity and mass shootings. Ask us anything. by washingtonpost

Let's play "Spot the Liar!!!" I win. It's GeorgeCrossPineTree, so has obviously never handled a bolt action rifle or an MSR, much less fired one.

Go ahead, spot one lie in my comment. You see a lot of c-gripping on a .30-06 M77? You can maintain your sight picture as well with a semi-auto .308 as you can with a .223?

I can hunt with any rifle, first of all. AR’s make excellent/versatile hunting platforms, not really sure why you distinguish them from “hunting rifles.” Since you said m77, I’ll group bolt action rifles in as well.

  1. There are tons of pistol grip options for bolt action rifles. Even more for semis.
  2. What does c clamp have to do with anything? But since you asked, yes you can c clamp any rifle.
  3. Pretty much all modern rifles have threaded barrels. All barrels can be threaded.
  4. How does any of what you mention contribute to reduced accuracy?
  5. Your woodsmaster has the same rate of fire as any AR.
  6. My semi auto 308 is well tuned and a very soft shooter. If I were to shoot a 3gun match with the 308, I’d probably split almost the same as with 223. I won’t though because I’m poor.
