[QUOTE="gdcpony, post: 913342, member: 76786"] I love the AR platform just because its cycling functions lead to an inherently accurate firearm. I will not claim they can replace a bolt gun in the most accurate of venues like benchrest, but they can compete quite well in field conditions. I would argue that an average bolt gun and an average AR will be indiscernible in most tests of accuracy. At least in my experience. My last .223, a Howa Vaminter Supreme accurized by a gunsmith of 30 years experience, averaged .325" with its best load. My AR without anything but my assembly, easily ties that average. However, the AR is a bit more finicky about its loads. Sorry, I digress. I expect MOA or near MOA from any rifle I shoot. If it can't do it I either fix it or get rid of it. AR's are no different. After that, I aim for doing what I can do minimize the groups. Attached are some pics of load tests from my AR-15. It gives results that rifle delivers from my hand loads. This is what I consider accurate. I wrote I review on these tests and the pics aren't there anymore, but here is the thread: [URL="http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=507874"]My .223 experiment - THR[/URL] [/QUOTE]
