I've become enamored of late with the idea of a "Thumper" type AR (a .50 Beowulf, or .458 SOCOM or .45 Bushmaster on an AR action).
Seems like a fun type of gun. And there seems to be a bit of buzz in the forums about these guys too, so now seems like an appropriate time to ask.
The more practical side of me wonders if my money wouldn't be better spent on a DPMS AP4 .308 Carbine.
So what say the experts here?
Limiting ourselves to 16" AR15 Thumpers and 16" AR10 Carbines, what would be the better rifle for HD, SHTF, plinking, range time, maybe a little hunting, etc ... figure I'm not going to do a lot of shooting out past 100-200 yards and I'm not taking dangerous game (like cape buffalo) ... largest animal I'd shoot at would be a North American Elk (and I really don't hunt much).
