I am looking into setting up a long range AR. Target shooting only (maybe some praire dogging) Ranges from 300 - 800 yards. Would like to be able to shoot 1" groups at 300 yards, if possiable. I have a DPMS lower with a JP trigger that is real nice so looking for an upper. I mainly shoot black hills ammo. Here is what I have been looking at: Bushy 24 Inch bull barrel $???? RRA 24 Inch Varmint A4 Upper Half $610 RRA 24 Inch Varmint EOP Upper Half $630 DPMS 24 Inch super bull barrel $705 Armalite 24 Inch Heavy barrel $600 White Oak 24 Inch Varmit $610 White Oak 26 Inch Match barrel $672 To shoot 300 yards plus what barrel length would most recommend? Does anyone make a 24 -26 inch bull barrel that is chromed lined? (To cut down on break in time and cleanings) How much is accuracy affected from chromed line to stainless barrels? Also I have yet to see a 24-26 inch bull barrel with a flash suppressor in it. Would really like to have a phantom flash suppressor on a long barrel. Recommendations, comments welcome. Maybe I am asking too much. I know I can buy the uppers cheaper thru gunbroker or else where. Just trying to decide what to get. Also I have seen a few Blackthorne barrels for sell on Gunbroker.com. They are priced cheaper than most. Anyone know anything about them? Been my past experience that most things that are price to cheap to be true are best left alone. |

one inch groups at that range will be tough to accomplish. I would look more at the ss bull barrels over the chrome lined. most rifles will shoot better than the shooter, so practice, practice, practice. and probably get a two stage trigger with a super light break. go the arms and tactics section under precision rifles and ask this question, it may get more responses. |
i wanted a flash surpressor too and here's what i settled on. i have not aquired the funds enough to free float the barrel yet so there it is

 26" CM Douglas, 1/8 from Frank White, Compass Lake Bushy Lower, SR 25 Trigger, extended mag release, RRA Shorty Entry Stock Shoots up to 80 grainers nicely, sweet spot 69 to 77 SMK's and Varget/BLC(2) Longer range needs heavier loads, get it throated for 80's if you're going to use them. Have personally seen the AMU shoot their 20" match-prepped AR's with iron sights at 600 yards and end up with itty-bitty little ragged holes. Oh Yeah, one of them just won Camp Perry a few years ago when I saw them so as usual, "It's not the arrows but the Indians". |

Thanks for the replies back, Also nice looking firearms. Most of my rifles will out shoot what I can do, but I am working on it. My ar-10 has 2 stage trigger with the 2nd stage set right at 1 pound trigger pull. I haven't checked what my ar15 is set at, it has a jp adjustable trigger group in it. It is set at what ever DPMS set it at when they installed it. I live about 30 minutes out of CMMG so I may pay them a visit and see what they can put together for me also. Will post pictures when ever I make my mind up on what upper I want to go with. |
