I'm debating on an upper to buy but I have this question. the upper i'm looking at has 1:10 twist but I have seen 1:11.25 twist. I was just wondering which would be a better choice. I will be using this for strictly hunting and shooting 180 to 200 gr. bullets...any opinions. Below is the upper I am looking to purchase.Now I'm familiar with a AR15 but I have a couple more maybe dumb questions.1st: are the buffer tubes interchangeable between the ar15 and the ar10? 2nd: are the grips interchangeable as well. I am asking this because I have an extra ace skeleton stock as well a a hogue grip.
.875 at the Journal (Under the gas block) Length of Pull:14 1/2" Caliber: .338 Federal Barrel: 22" Triple Lapped, AISI 416R Stainless Steel Match Rifling Twist: RH 1:10" Front Sight Base: Gas Block with Picatinny Rail Upper Receiver: Forged Flat Top Receiver with Picatinny Rail and Forward Assist 7175-T74 Aluminum Accuracy: 1 MOA |

338, you don't have anything to be sorry for. Just thought I'd provide you a little directional assistance. Until January, I hung out in different parts of ARFCOM then I decided to move up to large frame ARs. I spent hours on this and ArmaLite's sub forums before buying. There is a movement to bring all the large frame ARs under one sub forum and I believe that would be a good thing.

I like your idea of a plinking gun.

AR10 doesn't actually kick very much. Then again, I'm pretty manly. But just FWIW my 10 year old AR10 will only shoot 165-168gr bullets well.
And by well I mean sub MOA. While it will certainly shoot 150 or 180 or 200gr bullets 'pretty good' the 165/168gr bullets really shine. I am talking about hunting bullets and match bullets. I have never felt under-gunned shooting those bullets. I have a .300WSM that just LOVES 180gr bullets.
