Hey Guys, just bought the following carbine which is my first AR:

Armalite AR10T Semi-automatic AR 308 Win 16" Black Black Match Grade 20Rd NM Two Stage Trigger A3 10TCBNF


I assume this one will only accept armalite mags, is the true? Do you recommend 20 rd or 25 rd mags?

It claims MOA of 1, can anyone confirm? Has 1:11.25 twist- recommended ammo for best perfomance?

I was considering some higher end rifles but got tired of hearing out of stock, so I decided to make this one my first one

thanks

168 grain is whats optimal per armalite's stats. 20 rounders are easier to use from the bench than 25's.

Mine did MOA most of the time with M118LR and was a solid 3/4 MOA once I switched to a Noveske barrel. As above, the 20-round mags handle better.

Thanks for the advice guys, bought 5-20's yesterday. Been reading up on optics today, there are so many I am almost sick from reading about them.

Target mostly, maybe hog hunt some. Just ordered the Redfield Rev 4x12x40 with accu range and a burris mount, 259 + 79. That will be a good starter for me.

I figure that will do what you need it to just fine.

I have that same set up as well and I'm satisfied with it so far...
