Anybody know what gun his mag would used in? Looks a lot bigger than 5.56-.223 to me.

They are Sig 716 and they were acquired not without some controversy. Truly hypocritical. Meanwhile the Canadian Rangers are doing just fine against polar bears with Tikka T3x Arctics.

I mean personally I started carrying a BAR in .308 instead of my t3x in .308 for deep brush hunting. I like being able to justify it by saying "it's essentially what the conservation officers are carrying for the same reason".

Honestly, I really  want a semi auto 308. Folding stock to make up for the 18.5 inch barrel while still keeping it compact.

Chances are I'll never have to defend myself against a wild animal,  but if I ever did have too, I'd much  rather have a 5 round semi auto Than fumble with my bolt action. Even better if they had pistol mags.

The only other gun I'd feel confident I could maybe shoot a second  shot is a pump action, from all the practice missing at clays and having to shoot again. Otherwise.... not even my lever action to I feel is be able to shoot twice in a stressful situation

12ga semi. Benelli is the only I'll trust my life to. Beretta probably fine too.
