[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1063870, member: 10291"] I would have thought so but the accuracy of my AR rig surprised me. I originally decided to try the AR as an experiment to see how it would fare against the bolts. The DPMS barrel is floated over a very solid Colt receiver with s match trigger and weighted butt. I have shot both rifles extensively and the .25-.4MOA accuracy on both has been pretty consistent. I believe that the Savage should be inherently more accurate but short of going to a full bench rest set-up and load the current accuracy level that I'm getting is sufficient to break eggs at 300 yards and win matches. It drives the guys at my club nuts when I win a match with my AR against the bolt rifles. Now a few more shooters have decided to try the AR and have had similar results. The rapid fire capability of the AR can also be an advantage in an egg shoot when trying to catch a lull in the wind. Overall, I think the AR platform is underrated.when used within the scope of the .223 caliber. [/QUOTE]
