I understand your point but this rifle would be my very last choice for self defense, too much collateral damage! An AR-10 .308 Win even without the 4-16 X 42 scope would be a bit overkill, unless your shooting to stop someone at 400 - 800 yards then it probably would not be considered "self Defense".
I consider defending myself against a tyrannical government "self defense". I have range cards for locations at most of my families homes set up for 1,000 yards, just in case......
Good Point. my problem is that in my Oath of Enlistment I promised to defend this country from all enemies both foreign and domestic and as far as I am concerned there is no expiration date on that oath. Now I understand that could mean an out of control government it's just difficult to figure just where to draw the line. But hey, what do I know, I am just an old retired NCO .......
