When I started shooting AR-15's just 3 years ago my main interest was wild hog hunting. Became interested in precision shooting when I mounted scopes on my AR's. A few weeks ago I met a former coworker (also a Jim) at the gun range. He was actually the CFO at the company we both retired from. He invited me to test fire his new Rugar precision rifle. I think it was a 6.5. The rifle was all decked out, upgraded stock, $300 bi-pod, and 24X scope. He had 6 rounds in the rifle. At 100 yards I could see the bulls eye was a 1/2" square plain as day. All six rounds hit inside the square a couple almost perfectly. I don't know who was more excited him or me over my shooting.
His precision Rugar cost around $1200.00 although I found one on line for around $800, last years model. Thinking about
buying a 24" or 26"match grade barrel for my AR-15, 223. Don't expect it to shoot like the Rugar Precision but how much improvement can I expect with a longer barrel. Thinking about setting up a complete upper receiver with the match barrel.
opinions??????
