| Hello, I've always wanted to upgrade the barrel on my home built rifle from an 18" DPMS MK12 to one of your barrels. Well, I dislocated my shoulder this week and decided due to the injury I should go lightweight. I am leaning towards your 16" PredatAR. I have pretty tall expectations and just wanted to check in with you before ordering to see if I am being realistic here. Using a 24x Vortex scope, SSA-E trigger, with and without Specwar762 suppressor, will I be able to hold sub-MOA groups with handloaded 77TSMKs after load development? My other option is to go with the 16 or 18" stealth which I would assume would give me more accuracy at the cost of added weight. Thank you! I look forward to using your products. |
That trigger may give you problems. 
The barrels, all other contributing factors removed, are very capable of sub-MOA accuracy. It will all come down to component quality and skill. Scope, rings, buttstock (cheekweld) support (bipod & monopod or bag) trigger, handguard length for stability, grip, fitment of receivers & barrel torque. |

Just to give you an idea of what a PredatAR barrel can do: 16" tAR with handloads- .561 MOA, 3 shot group (my Outshoot the Shooter entry)...This was while working up loads for it...
...Oh, and my 20" Stealth put up a .452 during the same load development run...I'm working up with 69gr. SMKs now and this past weekend ran a 5 shot group with the 20" of .682 while working on seating depths..... ..In short, all things being equal, if you do your part any LaRue barrel will do it's part for you....
