So I’m new to the ar world ....and I have to say people ...nice builds very nice ......
So whats accuracy like ....say at ...200...to say 600 meters
Are the ar ‘s an accurate gun ...or more of a spray and pray.....
About how much money does one have to sink into a ar type rifle to make it accurate
224 Valkyrie...a 223...or a 6.5 Grendel or creedmoor...etc..etc..etc..
Please enlighten me
Thanks all
Theres a lot of factors in play, but in my opinion if any of the following is not done correctly you will not be able to shoot accurately.
- Free floating your barrel with good handguard, torqued correctly, I'd like to be on the tight side
- Barrel quality (avoid chrome lined) and stiffness (unless you cool your barrel down 5 minutes between shots), 1/7 or 1/8 twist
- Good trigger (Think Geissele)
- Good stable bipod and rear sand bag
- Good ammunition (Try 77gr OTM SMK)
- Good muzzle brake so you don't flinch the moment before you break the shot. Make sure it's mounted tight. I'd go for the shim method.
- Good scope, good reticle, $1500+
- Good mount, and mounted correctly, pushed forward when tightening onto picatinny, and not bridging between handguard rail and receiver rail
- Anti-cant bubble level so your shot to shot canting is minimal
- Correct posture behind the gun, i.e. load your bipod forward with your shoulder with consistence force, best to apply enough force so that bipod legs are ALMOST slipping but not quite, this helps with consistent shoulder pressure from shot to shot.
- Dry fire a bunch while looking through the scope to teach yourself about how your trigger finger behaves before and after the trigger breaks.
- Stable platform to shoot on, preferrably the ground
Perhaps you might be able to do this with about $3-5k depending what parts you source
Doing all these correctly and you might get consistent 0.5-0.75 MOA
