You can get some excellent accuracy out of a 16" barrell and certainly enough to make you competitive at the average shoot on a 100 yd range. Where the carbine, and more specifically the .223 round will fall short is at the longer ranges were wind really starts to play a factor.
If I were shooting a match at a hundred yards, I'd work up some good loads for my Wilson Combat UT-15, put a good scope on it, and shoot it instead of my Rem 700 .300 Win Mag for no other reason than it would be cheaper to shoot and less punishing on my shoulder. I probably wouldn't win unless compitition was pretty weak, but I bet I'd be real competitive and an AR is just plain fun to shoot!
