You'd do better to use a bolt action with the scope mounted low. Bolts will have shorter lock time so it's less likely you will break the shot too late before the deer moves. Having the scope mounted lower will make for less rise in trajectory to zero distance. An AR is not the tool for this.
I used to take a lot of head shots; some way out there. I stopped when I realized my shooting wasn't up to it anymore. My eyes got worse and I didn't practice as much for various reasons. Had I continued I probably would have had a bad experience. So, be real honest with yourself about the status of your equipment, training and practice. There's nothing wrong with headshooting. It's just that hardly anyone is in tune with their equipment and gameshooting to the point they can do it 100%. Thanks howl, this is the type of stuff I was hoping to hear. Just looked it up, my Savage has an under 2ms lock time vs 10ms on an Ar, that's a big difference.
