Thinking of a long building a long range .556 build. If money were no object how would you do it?

Upper?
Lower?
Trigger Assembly?
Stock?
Barrel?
Trigger Grip?
Optic?
Optic Mount?
Furniture?

I have only gotten this far. Thinking of a Colt upper and lower. Magpul PRS-AR15 stock. Troy MRF-RX 13.8 Battle Rail. Adams Arms Piston. So what do you think?

Piston guns are regarded as being less accurate than their DI counter-parts. The AR is not designed to work with a piston. The piston guns out today are basically piggy back systems that work off-line of the rifle.


I would probably just get a LaRue 18 or 20" Stealth upper, lower of your choice, Gisselle trigger, stock of your choice, LaRue optic mount, and Leupold or better glass. Use match ammo, and you should be good out a long ways....

Upper? Rock River Matched upper lower combo
Lower? Rock River matched uper lower combo
Trigger Assembly? Geiselle
Stock? Magpul UBR or PRS
Barrel? Douglas or Krieger 1:8 or 1:7.7 twist stainless Match with Wylde Chamber
Trigger Grip?  What ever fits YOUR hand best
Optic? Leupold, Shmidt and Bender, Night Force in a power range up to 18x  Much more than that and vibration becomes a PITA
Optic Mount?  LaRue
Furniture? Daniel Defense Freefloat

whats your definition of long range? Any 5.56 build for "long range" is the wrong tool for the job, but have fun with the build. Any combo of quality parts will serve you well.  My 20" service rifle holds pretty tight at 1Kyds.

I have a Lapua .338 for true range. This is a scoped medium range 5.56 for my wife to shoot with me. The Lapua beats her up a bit as she only weighs 100lbs. She is a little scared of it so I thought the 5.56 would be more fun for her.
