However, the AR-15 has matured over the last ten or so years, and with the right ammunition it can be used for anything from HD, ranch/truck gun, plinker, precision shooting, varmint hunting, shooting sports, and small/medium game hunting. A typical bolt gun isn't as versatile.

I'm not even sure I know what I want it for. I've never hunted, but I'd like to have the option eventually which is why I'm considering something in a 308.
I do like the AR platform, but I'd consider other semi auto options as well. I've shot a mini 14 before and like them, but the price tag seems to be a bit much compared to the budget ar-15 models.
It'd probably be an easier decision if the ar's I've seen were around $600-700 like they were pre-Covid.
