Anyone considering an AR10 should also consider an M1A. Great long-range weapon that fires the NATO 7.62.
I built an AR15. VERY EASY! Approx. $650. I can't decide to build or buy the AR10.
AR15 - Self defense or offense; Some states allow hunting. You can plink and/or compete in 3-gun.
AR10 - All the above and get an extra 300 - 500 yards effective range.
Ammo costs
- AR15 you can get fairly cheap without reloading. About $0.17 per round is my reloading cost. (I don't buy bulk very much) Cheap bullets too.
- AR10 you are probably going to want to reload. Target grade or hunting rounds. $0.45
I have the AR15 for my son and will have the AR10 or M1A for me. :-)
Good Luck!

Guns - the alternative to running for your life.
In general, the AR type rifles will be more accurate, easier to shoot, and much easier to scope than the AK rifles. The AK MAY be more reliable but I don't have any problems with any of the AR type rifles I shoot. If you give an AR at least a modicum of care, it will serve you well.
My biggest gripe with the AK is the safety. Next biggest is the lack of bolt hold open when the mag is emptied. I owned an AK in 7.62x39 and sold it when they were very expensive. I now have an AK74 simply because the ammo is so cheap. Neither of these rifles were/are as accurate as my AR's in those calibers.
