Everything I research is for combat/defensive stuff and Ive never hunted varmints so Im asking here.
This guy wants a very accurate ar, sub MOA. Everything in me is screaming BCM ss410 18" with 13"vtac. However, I see many people on the internet love thier rock rivers. I hate RR since I feel they are way overpriced for what they offer as far as carbines/combat guns. Are their vermint guns good? My friend has the lower, Im building the rest up for him. So far this is what my plan is:
some upper with match SS 18-20" barrel
Geissele SSA(dpms lower parts kit since the trigger is getting replaced)
magpul prs or ace skeleton or A2(ill talk to him about what he wants)
scope choice of : Nikon m223(2-8), Leoupold Mk AR(3-9), Nikon coyote special, or vortex pst, all with pepr or ssalt mount.
So for a non combat varmint rig, hows it sound so far? I really want this guy to get the most for his money. He plans on hunting (he says) out to 300 yds but id say the gun should be good out to 500 since he might hunt other places with more room.
Any suggestions of some good SS uppers to look at? Im not gonna have him get a noveske since I think they are overkill for his needs. How is the (ugh) dpms mk 12 for this role? I would get the stag Model 6 but 24" barrel is rediculous.
Sorry for the long winded and possibly stupid post, Im out of my element here. Never thought Id be looking at some of these brands.
