I brought home a SOCOM 16 a couple of days ago. I have enjoyed reading many good reviews. I have been a deer hunter long before I became an interested survivalist, I really don't see where much of a difference is.
The point is, I read where a fellow declared that they are not particularly good deer rifles. I don't see how that statement could hold water. Granted, I haven't even shot mine yet, but I read that they are very accurate, and I don't see where one could not harvest a deer, within normal shooting ranges with one.
For me, I think that the SOCOM would be a great tree stand, stalking, (though a bit heavy) and generally a good deer gun. After all, it is the cartridge that does the killing, not the type of rifle that it is fired from. I think that the characterics of the SOCOM make it a good deer gun for me, I will be hunting with it this fall.
I like the more than sturdy build, that will last me for the rest of my life, if I take care of it. What do you think?
Oh, did I mention hogs? "Hawgs" around here. I have some hog trips planed for it as well.
