Sorry, but I didn't give much detail when I asked the 1st time around. Looking to buy my 1st AR chambered in .223 with 1 in 9" twist. Will be used for a walking varminter, predator calling rig, & paper. Not concerned about saving pelts. Main targets are groundhogs from 50 - 300 yard range, fox, coon, & possibly yotes (if I can get one in range). I have a few HEAVY varmint rigs that perform well, but are not fun to pack all day. With all that I want to spend $700 - $900 tops. Rifle will be scoped, so flat top is a must, also want weight under 8lbs for rifle alone. Thinking of a Bushy 16 or 20" vmatch, a DPMS sweet 16, or I could build one. Since I'm a newbie, I thought maybe a complete rifle would be best route.
I've laid in a tall order here I know, can anyone fill that order?
Appreciate the help
