Here are some great reasons to consider getting an AR-15 right now.

Off-Season Hog Hunting: Coming in numerous shooting platforms with the ability for high capacity magazines and easy riggings for night vision and thermal scopes, ARs make a great and fun choice for hog hunting and they come in some great hog hunting calibers. Here are the top three.

Check out AR-friendly calibers here.

  1. 7.62 X 39: This is relatively inexpensive and easy to get ammo that is known for performing well in short barrels. You can pick up a box of 124-grain bullets for less than most popular deer calibers. These are great for hogs out to around 125 yards.

2. 308: The .308 is a popular caliber and it’s easy to find. You can get up to 165-grain bullets that will allow you to hit hard and also have a decent effective range.

3. 223: A very common AR choice is the .223 and it can be effective for hogs especially when making headshots which is preferable for many hunters. Think shot placement and you’ll be fine with this caliber.

Fun, Family Shooting: Ammunition can be inexpensive for AR-15s, especially when you catch the right sale on .223 or 7.62 X 39. Taking the family to the range or deer lease to shoot targets can be lots of fun not only for sharpening shooting skills but for much-needed family bonding time.

Self-Defense: Many outdoors lovers and shooting enthusiasts consider AR-15s a top self-defense option. Whether it’s used to defend from feral hogs, feral dogs, and other dangerous animals in the wilds of Texas and beyond or as a home defense weapon this platform is perfect for defense. With home invasions increasing and unrest increasing, having a defense weapon that holds more than six rounds is a plus.

Fun For Tinkering: There’s nothing like building your own AR or adding components like special grips, stocks, scopes, and reticles. There is no more diverse type of rifle on the market that allows the owner to customize with relative ease.
