Good first rifle?

[Leon s Kennedy]

Hey guys is the M&p 10 a good first 308 rifle?I plan on using it for boar hunting in the future and target shooting so is this a good gun? I really like the design and the features seem to make the gun beginner friendly.i'm half asleep at 4am so Please excuse my grammar.

My M&P10 was my second .308 and i am very satisfied. Its very accurate with good ammo and is a blast to shoot. My first was a M1A and it was a challenge to get to shoot well but it shoots anything. The M&P was good to go out of the box.

Some here have reported issues but mine has been trouble free. I have been well pleased with my MP10. It is a good handling .308 AR. I have had a Saiga.308, DPMS Gen 1 .308 AR and a M1A Scout, and so far I prefer the MP10 to any of those, although I did like the M1A Scout a great deal.

Mine has been fine as well but as Tbat mentioned, some have had issues. I wouldn't get rid of mine but you might want to read through the threads here before you make a decision one way or another. Just so you are an informed buyer. Like I said, so far mine has been a great rifle.

Yes. They are great rifles.

I'm in the same club of having no problems with several hundred rounds fired.

As for hog hunting, it depends. If you are going to be in a stand or vehicle, it will get it done just fine. If you are going to be walking/stalking, something lighter will serve you well.

An AR15 in 6.8 or 300BLK would be another strong suggestion.
