I am looking into buying a semi-auto for coyote hunting and just an expensive popcan gun.

I was looking at the Armalite AR-10(T) Chambered in the .308 Win.
www.armalite.com

Also lookin at the Bushmaster XM15 rifle systems. chambered in the .223

The thing is that i would like to also use this semi auto for a 1000 yard target play gun also. Questions are which of these two rifles are going to be more easily used for a 1000 Yard target gun rifle. If at all? Obviously the .308 would be better. I dont intend to use this semi auto as a serious match rifle. But am more than interested at taking coyotes at long distances. I want quality though. Armalite or Bushmaster. Who has the better built rifle. Thanks!

  I've got a flat top Armalite AR10 rifle and have found it to be very accurate. When I 1st purchased it new it had a failure to extract problem which Armalite solved by sending me heavier extractor springs.
  My perception is it has tight tolerances which does not make it as reliable as my HK91 or my old M1a, but I guess that's the trade off for accuracy.

  My son has a Rock River and I'm impressed by the workmanship and especially the accuracy. If you know someone or somewhere to be able to look one over, it might just change your mind on the others.
