Howdy all. I'm in the process of putting together my first AR, and hope to have it completed in the next few months. Hopefully by July. At the moment I have a Bushmaster LPK, and a 4 position stock w/assembly on the way. Next month will probably bring a stripped lower from either Stag Arms or RRA along with a reduced power trigger spring kit.
This rifle will be used for predator hunting primarily. At the present I do my calling with a 26" heavy barrelled 22-250, and while it is more accurrate than I am, it's sometimes a hassle to maneuver about, especially while night hunting.
So here is my dilema. I am not quite sure whether or not I should go with a 20" upper or 16". Either way it will probably be from J&T distributing, with a flat top receiver and gasblock sight base. I haven't done much shooting with the 20" model, and absolutely NONE with the 16" platform.
So what do you guys think, based upon your experiences. My preferred ammo is a 55 grain Federal HP.
