[Gobbler]

Nice!!

[Shooter]

That's pretty dam good shootin out of a 9 power!!! Let alone out of an auto too!!

[Bigspurs68]

Nice! I like a lot of things about that rig on the top.

[Johndoe]

Damn they shoot good Ronny.

[Hoobilly]

good job Loder!

how much invested (sans scope etc) in each of them?

I need another AR and would like to build my own.

Anderson seems to have good stuff. buddy of mine in Ky built 2 and they both shoot really well too

Thanks guys!

Tommy, I function and accuracy checked them with a Nikon 6-18. That scope has been on a pile of new rigs to test accuracy. I keep it and various mounts on my bench.

I fired a group with cheapo 62g fmj(~3/4" from both) and the two above with 69g match. Good enough. I bet I could make em dance with hand loads. Dad will prob only run factory. Can't blame him in 223/556. Almost not worth it to load with ammo being as cheap or cheaper than components alone.

Hoobilly, IIRC I have around 900 in the top rig and 700 in the bottom rig. That's sans optics. You can build a pretty nice rig for 700. You can build a reliable rig for 500, but it gets a little more with the bbl and little upgrades. Of course the sky is the limit. Dad wanted to keep it at 2k with two rigs ready to rock.

I am liking the top rig for sure, that is close to what I have in mind for mine.

Nice rig. That's just rubbin it in tho. .
We all shoot shot guns for a reason.

[USMC0331]

Sorry, was not trying to rub it in, just posting to let folks know that the AR platform is capable of good accuracy.

[Johndoe]

I was joking. I have a 556 and a 6.8. 6.8 shoots better groups.
