[QUOTE="6.5shaggy, post: 2681953, member: 13311"] I had a 25-45 AR. It was accurate and ran the 87 grain bullets in the 2800 FPS range. I shot some hogs with a thermal mounted on it but I decided shooting 68 or 77 grain BTHP 5,56 was just as effective and much simpler. If you had a 223 Savage or set up a 223 Tikka as a switch barrel with a barrel nut it could be a really cool build, but as others said above, I wouldn’t pour a large investment into a custom gun in this caliber. There are too many hurdles to overcome for the 25-45 performance level. [/QUOTE]
