Ruger AR556 with 5 round magazine and expensive hollow points. Scope.
The scope will allow you to shoot earlier, later, and in the woods in shadows.
Quicker, too!
Hands down, the scope wins!
First of all, welcome back to the forum.
Secondly... Late deer season has once again opened up. I will consider your advice but will probably go out again with a shotgun with slugs.
My most important consideration is putting the deer down quickly and humanely.
