I personally find the idea of hunting with an AR distasteful, but that is my own personal bias. I don't really see the need for a semi-auto for hunting, regardless of the platform.
Frankly, I'm also skeptical of the need for all of these newfangled calibers. Unless you are hunting in the West, not really sure what a 6.5 if doing for you that a .308 won't.
