    Just buy an AR-10. You kill two birds with one stone. You have the cool factor of owning an AR and satisfy your urban defense needs while having an adequate hunting caliber as well (.308). I personally use a .300 WSM for hunting, but used a single shot .270 for years. I am thinking about buying a 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant some time in the near future, just for the hell of it, if I can find one with a decent bore/rifling. Even if it doesn't shoot adequately, I will only have wasted $150. Pretty much anything that will take down a deer will take down a hog as well, and vice versa.

    I just got a Mosin Nagant..Very good gun...And I guess I got lucky,because it's pretty accurate.Never shot a rifle before until I got it..Fun gun in my opinion.

    I really wish I would have bought one a few months back at one of the gun shows I went to. There was a table full of them for $79.00 each. Now I can't find one for less than $120.00
