My main shooting buddies will absolutely not shut up about how “impractical” of a deer rifle my 20 inch AR-10 (308) with 5-30x scope is.

If I had a desire to kill a deer with it, that deer would DIE. But, uh, not exactly the point.

(Edit to elaborate/clarify: I don’t have any particular desire to hunt, so I am annoyed that my friends insist on discussing the suitability of my long distance precision target rifle for hunting. That said, if I indeed did desire to hunt with it, it would be more than adequate for the task)

How do you like the AR-10 and how much did it cost you? I’m debating between getting a short AR-15 as well as a long AR-10 or bolty, or just getting a mid-length AR-15, maybe 16".

My best friend has an AR-10 and it’s one of my favorite guns to shoot.

A lot, and A LOT; but it was a high end custom build because I wanted pretty. You can find one below 1k from PSA, I think.

In my opinion, more guns more fun, so I’d say shorty and longboi. Short AR-15s are absolutely fun.
