Thread: ar15 or howa etc package?

A sporting rifle is nicer to carry slung for those long walk ins!

I actually agree with this. They're abit of a bitch to carry for extended periods.

Not really. With a two point sling and an AR carbine you can sling it muzzle down under your arm pit and forget it's there.

This is a good idea. But still abit of a mess. Especially if you're walking somewhere with limited headroom (ie. Not on a nice track or flat bit of bush. )

The advantage with a sporting rifle is it's akin to carrying a long stick. It's just that - straight. So it's super easy to push it through gaps in brush. Anything with a pistol grip means you have abit more width to consider. Add some optics and it's more width again.
I haven't hunted with an Acat stock, but with some of the configurations out there, they make the butt end of the rifle f-ing massive.
