OK, so first three are nearly perfect deer guns (some say .308 is light for long range elk), and the last is great for elk (little much for deer IMOP). My problem is still the lack of versatility with the calibers. If you have a .30-06 you have a perfect deer rifle, all the way down to possibly coyote (talked to a guy who used to load 90gr bullets for it), and a gun perfectly suited for Elk (lot of folks even used it for moose when I lived in Alaska).
My main point is that what is arguably the most virsital calibers ever in the sporting world isn't available in AR form. Think about the market that could be available for something like this. Young up and coming hunters that want something cool, curious experienced hunters who needed the excuse to buy an AR. I know some of the guys I hunt with would like one, but need it to be in a caliber that makes sense to them. For anyone who is low on cash trying to get into hunting the calibe that is almost universal is .30-06.
If they could get more shooters to use the platform, they would get more acceptance. So why not make them in one of the most popular calibers of all time?
