First I bought a RRA lower because i knew i wanted an AR. Then spent weeks going through old posts on this board to see what upper to get. I finally decided on a 16" varmint upper from RRA. I wanted something for shooting small game at the deer lease and may even take it turkey hunting next month to try something a little different than a shotgun. Correct me if i am wrong but the 1 in 8 twist is better suited for heavier bullets.

Quoted: Correct me if i am wrong but the 1 in 8 twist is better suited for heavier bullets. ghost, first welcome to AR15.com. Yes, the 1:8 twist is generally accepted to be better suited for heavier bullets. Certainly the 1:8 will allow you to more accurately shoot heavier bullets than say the 1:12 twist which is about optimal for 55 grn. Many of the newer AR's seem to be coming with 1:9 twist barrels. |

Welcome! Gunbert, you said it......this is the ONLY website worth a damn that concerns firearms. Hell, when the site gets slow, it's like wanting to go visit friends, but they're all out of town.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I can tell that I will be spending a lot of time here and a lot more of my budget is going to go to my AR. I mean who really needs toilet paper anyway!
