[QUOTE="carverelli, post: 118625, member: 4794"] I for one know what you're talking about. I built a dog slayer just about likr your talking about. ok..the specs. 24" Kreiger stainless heavy barrel 1-13 twist Dpms aluminum lower(they make a stainless lower if you want it heavier) Dpms high rise upper(w/extension for putting the scope forward for long eyerelief) Royal Arms pistol grip w/ a beg palm swell Jard single stage trigger @2lbs.( go w/ 2.5 or 3# spring as I get double taps now and then. Talk to Frank white at Compass LLake engineering. He specializes in Service rifles (mostly 1-7 to 1-8 twists for 600 yard accuracy. He will sell you the barrel, free floet tube and a bolt headspaced to the min spec(tight chamber). my favorite load is 40 gr ballistic tips over 28 gr h-335 in LC brass. Velocity averages 3700-3750 and accuracy under 1/2 @100 yards. The first time I found this load my barrel had about 500 rounds and I put 10 shots or so you could cover w/ a dime. The firepower is unbelievable w/ the 30 round mags. Out to 250 yards and little wind I've went 60 rounds w/o a miss. When the winds come up it gets intersting w/. the little 40 grainers, but even at 16 power scope I can see my hits through the scope. I have a lead wedge to stick in the stock bringing the rifle weight to around 13 lbs. I love my AR. One day I'd like to biuld another upper assembly for a coyote walker/stalker. A 1-9 twist 20" barrel for the 55 and 60 grainers under a 3-9 scope. Shooting a running yote is a blast, but if the scope is too powerful its easy to lose sight after they take off. [/QUOTE]
