OP PaulBarnard Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 26,609 Likes: 19 Metairie, LA	Originally Posted by TheKid Listen to these guys. I tote an 18” PSA literally all the time, if the truck leaves the driveway that rifles in it. It has never bobbled with any bullet or load and drives tacks on the rare occasion I am forced to shoot paper. It flat excels at killing stuff and the only thing I wish it was that it isn’t is lighter, I can’t imagine voluntarily carrying extra weight. It’s never seen a cleaning rod and I’ve got a $20 that says it’d put 3 Hornadys or Sierras under my thumbnail at 100 right now. An hour an half ago. Which model is that?

This one is reasonably priced https://www.rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=79 What little reading I can find on it suggests that it is easily sub MOA. What are your experiences with heavy barrel AR 223s? I had a Bushmaster V-Match (I think that’s right). Long time ago. It was very accurate, but a bit awkward to shoot. Not the exact question, but I also had a DPMS 308LR, which is an AR10, just a big honkin’ thing. INCREDIBLY accurate rifle, just amazing really. But a BEAST. Again, I find the ergo’s of an AR are a bit awkward for precision shooting; so big heavy AR-pattern rifles haven’t “stuck” with me. But they’ve all been accurate, to your point. The CENTER will hold.

Is this part the part that requires shipment to an FFL?

Have a RR upper (heavy and short) and a stag 6 (heavy and long) that are easy under an inch They’re both pigs but soft shooting and only get carried to a bench and back so the weight isn’t a factor I think there were more Stag 6 rifles in the black rifle challenge that shot under moa than any other rifle. I remember guys like you were suggesting it, so I bought one. The rifle shot amazing, but it was too heavy. If I were just going to shoot off a bench all day, I'd be using one of those. Needless to say, I sold it after I bought my first 20" barreled rifle. My 20" is fluted and is a lot lighter than the big 24" barreled stag. I am one that doesn't like the 18" or shorter rifles. They do not shoot as smoothly as the 20" rifle length system. That's my choice. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.
