im gonna be buying either a 20 inch upper for long range shooting and varmint hunting or just buy a new rifle, what would be better to do buy a new rifle or just a new upper, the lower is perfectly fine, what is your guys opinions. my main shooting will be out to 300 yards what would be better just a 16 inch upper or a 20 inch upper both with a scope what would better for targets out to 300
this is my current configuration for plinking and general use.

Depends; do you want one or two rifles? Me? I think uppers get lonely without lowers.
As for length, it's not going to have a real impact on accuracy as long as the barrel is good. I'm finishing up part purchasing for my "precision" build and dropped a pretty dime on a Noveske 18" SPR barrel. If accuracy is your purpose, you really need to spend the bucks on that barrel or it'll all be for naught. |

I think your best bet would be to dump that NC Star scope and get a good scope. Then see what your current upper will do.

Go with a new rifle only not 5.56, maybe 6.8 or 6.5?
