"You don't need an AR to hunt down a deer" - Government.

Also Government - "Our Conservation Officers NEED AR-10s as they're the best tools for the job for deer/wildlife management".

I can’t think of a better rifle for grizzly defence than an AR-10.

Cougar too, I imagine. It's very simple though, as they are Peace Officers their lives are more important than ours.

What about a .45-70 lever-action? It's chambered in an even bigger cartridge while also being fast.

Owning both, the AR-10

I’d want a semi-auto against a charging grizzly

Fast, but nowhere near AS fast, and with something like that fast is damn near tied for number one priority. Realistically most people can probably squeeze off 7-8rounds from an AR-10 in the time it takes to get 3 out of a lever gun. Some may miss but that’s still way more noise, flash, and potentials holes in Pooh.

Easy to short stroke in a stressful situation. The old adage of manual actions being more reliable is no longer the case with these very tried and tested semi automatic actions available (until they were banned).
