THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT I'm hopefully going to get a 24" bull barrel flat top upper assembly w/ badger handguard I ordered sometime in the next month (ordered back in April). I currently have the lower built up with a Magpul PRS stock and a two-stage trigger. This is what is should look like except mine will have a Burris PEPR scope mount, a bipod, and a freaking trigger (not sure why thats missing in the pic)  Show me yours! |

That magpul stock is very, very heavy. I find that the ajustable cheek rest doesnt work as its short to make room the the charging handle, the back of my cheek barely touches the ajustable part so its kind of a waist IMHO. I just though you should know

So does "varmint rifle" essentially mean "very accurate rifle"?
Also, one other question I've always wanted to ask: Why are match barrels always silver, and not black like standard carbines? |

Almost every 'varmint' AR I've seen seems to be set up more for stationary shooting, often with longer heavy barrels and sometimes with a slower rifling twist for LW bullets. Also usually set up with bipod and high mag optics. Most match barrels are Stainless. |

A lot of money for no advantage in this situation. |

I really wish mine had a 20'' barrel instead of a 24''. It is so nose heavy, it just sucks.

Put a Magpul PRS on it solved the whole nose heavy issue... but made the overall rifle heavy as fuck. Although it is made for varminting so it's really a non issue now. |

I did a build a few years ago...
Got a 24" fluted stainless bull barrel for a song from a guy who didn't like it (too long and heavy). Put it on a Superior lower with an RRA 2-stage LPK. Used a DPMS hi-rise upper (very stiff and no need for risers), Bushy BCG, and a DPMS rifle length FF tube with lo-pro gas block. I had less than $500 in that rifle and it would shoot the tits off a mother flea! Only gripe was the chamber was extremely tight. I had to use small base dies to resize cases for it. |

I built this gun back several years ago on a J&T stripped lower, with an RRA 2-stacge trigger, and J&T upper/barrel. I really like the Choate stock for bench shooting. I have a lead weight in the stock so the gun weighs about 16 lbs empty and doesn't move very much from recoil. It has worked well so far and is my favorite among my prairie dog shooters.

I am in the process of building an SPR for coyote hunting. Dont want or need a 24" bull barrel for that kind of thing. Coyote hunting doesnt involve a lot of long shooting strings but does involve a lot of walking so carrying a 10-12 lb rifle doesnt fit the needs template.

It now has the same pistol grip shown in your OP. Once I feel like dropping some dough, I will definitely be getting that magpul PRS stock as well. |

Does it need to be cleaned more often to function 100%? i hear they are very tightly fitted. |

I had to look up what a "Bullet Button" is. Stumbled across a thread on Calguns and saw a guy post this question: "Can I remove the mag and then reload it and insert it and still be legal or do i have to take the pistol grip off befor i take the mag out to reload?" At first I thought the guy was joking, but read on and realized he was serious! I like visiting CA. It's a beautiful state but, man, am I glad I live in Florida! |

used to be though that when the first mag locks came out for the ARs (I.E. the prince50) you had to keep you magazine bolted down with it all the time. with the bullet button and the RaddLock, you dot have to do that anymore. you can change mags as usual, leave the mag out ,ect all legally, only difference is that you have to "use a tool" to change the mags...WHOPPEE........cracks me up......how long do you think it wuld take to convert your rifle back to regular old magazine release?...about 10 seconds.....LOL.....i actually keep the parts to do it on most of my rifles right i n the stock, close at hand. they even make "tools" that fit over the tip of your finger that slide right in the BB hole to release it.
besides, i can drop one of my BB equipped mags and slap a new one in in about 2 seconds. |

DPMS Extreme Super Heavy. 24" length, 1.125" diameter barrel. Burris 6.5-24x50AO. 20.5lbs with lead weight in the butt stock. 
Red Ryder J&T 20" fluted barrel & upper over a Mega lower with a little trigger work. Burris 3-9.
20" Krieger barreled upper over a Stag lower with Jewell trigger. Burris 4-14x40. 
This one even made the trip last summer. Les Baer cryo treated 14.5+1.5" perm flash hider. I simply moved the one piece scope mount with a Burris onto it for the fun & games. That thing shoots amazingly well for a short barrel. 1.5" group at 400yds. |

I switched from a 13 pound rifle to a simple Bushmaster M4gery with a flat top and scope. Much easier to lug around and plenty accurate. When I go to work I just remove the scope and presto, I have a patrol rifle. |
