I haven't seen this accuracy reliably with any of the basic models. Push $1000 and, sure, but at the closer to $500 I haven't personally seen it, heard it, or read it on the interwebs. |

And yeah most basic ARs are of the M4ish variety don't have freefloat handguards and 5.56 NATO chambers, but there are some available that have Wylde chambered stainless barrels and are free floated. Was on PSA's site they have a 18" kit for $499 that should easily be MOA. I used a cheap AR Stoner barrel $119 on sale for my optic service match build and it'll do sub MOA with the aforementioned Fiocchi ammo.

My .223 varmint rifle is 3x as heavy as an AR15. The weight makes it more stable on the bi-pod and heat up slower on the down side it also takes longer to cool. It's a different tool for a different job...
I still want an AR and will get one when funds allow. Tony |

Don't wait too long for that AR Geezerbiker, prices are pretty low right now...maybe rock bottom but for sure I'm no real judge of that.
Even Cabela's has a $400 AR. Plus you can get 5% off if you're a military veteran. http://www.cabelas.com/product/ANDER...LE/2392846.uts |

Adjusted for inflation--I have NEVER seen AR prices as low as they are now!

That's well under $1000 and forum rules don't allow me to comment on the mentality of someone incapable of watching a YouTube video and assembling a lower. But they prolly don't need to worry about MOA������

Forum rules don't allow me to comment on the simplicity of someone who put $0 value on their time and won't count the time watching all those youtube videos in their accounting or admit that using basic non-specialized tools without marring items or otherwise buggering things up wastes further time, especially on the first go round. Anyone in said category probably worries too much about MOA.
Some people simply don't want to build one on their own. Mechanical assembly is not a skill required to qualify as a shooter. Also, there are areas of the country where the transfer costs $50. But year, you can build one cheaper than you can buy one. You can buy a cheap one and swap the barrel and sometimes that alone will do it. |

My stag m6 outshoots my Browning x-bolt. The stags barrel is two inches longer so not the perfect comparison but I am shooting .223 out of each.
I personally believe the bolt gun inherently being more accurate is a total myth. I think the only reason people tend to shoot more accurately with bolt guns is because you need to line each shot up instead of just pulling the trigger over and over. |
