They have other uppers that would meet your requirements for no rails, mounts, etc.

Just a thought.



This is going to be very, very difficult to beat given your parameters.

5 White Oak barreled uppers in both .223 & .204. "ALL" SUB 1/2 moa. 1 .223 has shot a 3 shot .088 group with X-terminator powder & a 55 grain Berger. Average in the 3's to 4's. My 24" .204 will shoot 5 shots in the 3's all day.

I actually wouldn't doubt the uppers would be capable knowing John and company...

I'm always on the lookout. grin

Im not saying it isn't possible, just that he could easily take the #1 spot in the challenge with that type of shooting.

any high end complete upper at 600.00 will be hard to beat.
barrel 200^
barrel nut 35^
hand guard 150^
receiver 150^
bcg 150^
gas block and tube 60^
charging handle 75^
muzzle brake 60^
time to assemble 1.5 hours
you are already at 850+ just for parts
though the satisfaction of putting one together and shooting 1" or less is priceless.
even a caveman can do it.

What's your choice of a $200 barrel to get to those (10 shot) 1" groups?

It looks like you're planning to pay premium prices for everything except the barrel. A little backwards for a precision upper, don'tcha think?

I agree that $600 for a quality precision upper is a decent price, but put the big $$ into the barrel first. A $400 White Oak barrel on a cheap $50 upper would have a much better chance of shooting well than what you've listed above, especially if assembled by someone who know's what's what.

Unless something has changed recently, WOA uses Wilson match grade blanks.
