I think reaching that conclusion from a sample of 10 out of the 265 would give you a seat on the next select comittee
Iv used both Ar and bolt and I have a preference for the AR. The follow up shot advantage is a small part of it though its great when using shooting sticks or similar, being able to stack 40 rounds into a couple of neat little plastic mags at you leisure is way better than constantly thumbing rounds in when there are targets in front of you,even more so when its dark. Brass catcher is good at times, as is the ability to mount to a torch on the hand guard. . An AR is not really needed but need isn't an argument really, most all hunting is sport/recreation so there is no need in any of it and falling into the "dont need" trap could well be a very slippery slope. Over all though I find its just a better rifle for the job . I dont really like the rifle aside from the function aspect, I prefer a nice piece of walnut and like some others its the poor process that pisses me off far more than loosing the AR.
