[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1986362, member: 90397"] I can't say I routinely shoot 0.3 MOA with either my custom bolt guns (mostly GAPs) or my AR platforms (GAP and Craddock Precision uppers). I can generally get 1/2 MOA out of both after tuning loads though. What I like about the precision ARs is the ability to put additional precision uppers on the lowers for less money than a complete custom bolt gun. I generally shoot the ARs suppressed because the barrel profiles are heavier and accommodate the suppressor where my bolt rifles tend to have smaller barrel profiles for less weight. As pointed out previously, the ARs seem to be more limited in caliber selection and it is also typically more difficult to adjust seating depth when trying to tune loads. The last two deer I have taken have been with AR platforms and the ARs work great on steel from the backyard at ranges under 400 yds. [/QUOTE]
