[ARCHIVED THREAD] - newbee question about long range AR

Posted: 1/1/2006 5:14:35 PM EDT

Hi all,
New to the site seems to be a lot of very good AR info avalible. Just picked up a RRA lower for a new AR project I want to build. Am looking for a good barrel for this build up 24+ length I noticed on the Olympic site they show a 26 Stainless Ultramatch barrel and flutting is avalible, is there an advantage to go over 24 inches with 223? There is not a lot of info on the Olympic barrels does anyone have experiance, will they give sub MOA at 600 yards? Should I just bite the bullet and go to arbarrels.com and order up a Krieger? Sure there will be more questions as this build progresses so thanks in advance.

buy a 20" SS wilson, it will do fine at 600yds. Once you are outshooting the barrel, then spend the money on a top $ tube.

I agree with bigbore, go with the 20". Unless the rifle is dedicated to long distance shooting, a 20" barrel is handier and will still reach out to 600yds.
