THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT What are your opinions on complete uppers and who would you recommend. Currently leaning towards Noveske. A tiny voice in the back of my head is also telling me to get a 6.5 Grendel upper. I currently re-load, but not 5.56 or 6.5, so either way I'll have to pick up new dies, powder etc. I still have a few days to mull it over. |

Noveske.
I've got a Noveske 18" SPR with the Vltor VIS upper. Shoots sub MOA easy. It is a touch heavy, but nothing intolerable. Scope is Nightforce 3.5-15X50 F1. 
This is with handloaded 69 grain Sierra Match Kings at 100 yards. Sample of the accuracy Noveske is capable of.  |

Try a BCM uper with one of their SS410 barrels. Very accurate and cheaper than a Noveske if you are worried about price.

Noveske.
Mine will put 10 shots into a nickel at 100yds off bipod using jBlack Hills M262. best investment I have ever made. |

LaRue Stealth 18"/13.2" or Noveske! I'm not sure you can go wrong either way as both will be sub moa with good ammo...

So many good choices.
Noveske, Lothar Walther, Krieger all make great barrels. Myself I have a Lothar Walther barrel in my rifle and it is dead on accurate. |

My 18" Noveske SPR barrel is way overkill for me. My best groups are 5 shots in 3/8" at 100 yards and 3 shots in 5/8" at 300 yards (I have only been able to do the 300 yd group once). These were shot with bipod and sand bag in the rear.
