I've been shooting mine for three years. Never liked the Colt "Match" trigger, so I replaced it with a JP single stage. I use it as a varmint rifle anyway. Don't know why anyone would use it with cheap ammo anyway. Buy something with a chromed bore if that's your cup of tea! I also added a buttstock weight.
Best 100yd. three shot group (off bench) is a .113" backed up by a .130" and witnessed at my club range! I'll even give you the load. Win. brass and primer, 52gr. SMK, 25gr. H4895, 2.26 OAL. No one AR is everything to everybody. I've got five others to play with and I doubt the CAR3 Elite would be the choice if it was to be my only one, but it does what it's supposed to do on prairie dogs, and makes fools out of some of the benchresters at the club with their gadgets and other anal doodads.
