[QUOTE="Huntz, post: 1687511, member: 110832"] I am not a target shooter.I do hunt Prairie Dogs,Coyotes,Fox.I got into the Varmint Hunters"1000 yard club" with an AR-15 in 223.It had a 28" Krieger 1/8 twist heavy barrel and Richardson 1 lb. trigger.That rifle would shoot honest 1/2" 10 shot groups at 100 yards with a 69 grain Hornady .Could I shoot one at 1000 + yards anytime I wanted to?No way,but I did call the shot in front of witnesses.I have a couple RRA 26" barreled 223 Wylde and 20 Practical with 1/8 and 1/9 twist that are scary accurate.I think they shoot right along side almost any bolt action rifle.There are probably shooters that can do better than me or maybe worse.I only shoot at targets to sight in.Since PDs do not sit at any one range you have to dope the wind and distance as they do not often give you a chance to range them when you have been shooting for a while.To be fair I shot High Power for over 20 years and have a slight clue how to dope the wind.I would say an AR put together right with a good barrel ,trigger and the right guy pushing the button can shoot right along side any bolt action.
