As we've discussed previously, I have wondered if a 223 BLR with the 9/10rd detachable mags would be the closest thing to an AR for goats in the bush.

Ben to be honest both have taken a little bit to get used too the blr 308 though i have shortened the barrel so is better in the ute would be easier in the bush as they say no good for lying down to shoot they are also lighter to carry but soft shooting the gbc is just like a ar I need to practice more with it though
