Have you ever used a semi hunting? They have their place and it's not for blasting away full mags at departing animals. The softest shooting shotgun is a semi and fast follow up shots on the same or next bird in a mob is important for things that fly. 10/22 is the classic rabbit shooting rifle and AR is fast becoming the classic long range varminter. There is no link between conservation and action type \ mag length so don't believe everything crusty old duck shooters tell you (we never had wounded ducks before semis and steel shot...)
