"rifle" reciever to pistol question

[squirrel_slayer]

yes I have considered a 16" barrel with a folder, but the bulk of the folder kind of defeats the purpose on a shorty, long rifle yes.

I personally haven't fired a centerfire pistol like one of these but have always liked the concept. my thoughts are I could carry such animal on a chest mounted holster and have it at a arms reach. where i'd be hunting elk is fairly dense terrain and I'd like the oppertunity to actually stalk to my game for the kill. our deer hunting here is very open country and shots to 300+ are the norm. yes still enjoyable but the other does appeal to me as well. probably has alot to do with the stories my co-worker has told me (an avid and **** good bow hunter) says when you can see the whites of their eyes and there there snorting and huffing 10-40 yards away there's nothing else like it. granted they(bow hunts) get to hunt during the rut so i'm sure that plays a big factor.

so in short, I want to get that same or similar experience as a bow hunter yet have enough gun to harvest the animal cleanly and not break the bank in the process.

Well, thing is, the Feds measure against the 26" OAL in the extended configuration. When folded, or collapsed for a telescoping stock, it is legal to be below 26". Your State law may vary, so double check, but it's something that can shorten things somewhat.

Another thought, have you considered an "AR10" based pistol? If the hunting regs allow it, a 10" barreled .308 should do the job at close range.

we can use semi's just have the magazine limit restrictions. a ar10 pistol build is way beyond what I'd want to spend. I could build a 450 bushmaster or 458 socom upper for my SBR lower and go that route, but that just doesn't appeal to me. don't get me wrong a gen II dpms .308 sbr is on the want list (much smaller platform) owned a gen 1 and I did enjoy it.......until I had to feed it.
