    I used my Colt Competition HBar in the same configuration for hunting. Only problem I had with it is the front sight got in the way of the optic

    I agree. The only reason I would buy one would be to stick it in the safe, and for that reason I would choose the Colt. For your stated purposes, I think you would be better served with a different rifle.

    Yeah. Because having that muzzle velocity and sight radius really sucks. I like my home built AR15A5 and would put it against any rifle out there.

    I also see no downside to a higher velocity in a targety gun, I mean, isn't that kind of the point?

    I vote for BCM after seeing the disappointing FN and Colt 20" offerings.

    i really wanted a colt too.

    I've heard about the FN falling short of what the BCM and Colt are offering,but is there something wrong with the Colt?

    Almost bought a BCM, but just couldn't do it. They build fine rifles, but at the end of the day it's hard to deny a Colt.

    It's also nice seeing 'AR15A4' proudly stamped on the rifle. The libs really hate that word.

    I didn't say anything about wanting less velocity and sight radius, but a chrome-lined non-floated barrel ain't exactly tits in 2014.

    Range plinking with a 2-4moa military barrel just ain't fun for long and if you want to be a responsible hunter, good hits are important...

    Why wouldn't it be fun? With good ammo my rifle is well capable of hitting out to 500M without a problem. I don't hunt animals. Your post doesn't make any sense.

    I currently have a BCM BFH 16" lw middy with a Fortis 12" keymod, BCM 16" govt. profile middy with an MI free float rail and a Spikes 16" chf middy with MOE handguard. With that being said:

    I've had a few people suggest that I go with the 16" SS410 from BCM. I was told it would be more accurate than my current uppers. How would the accuracy be compared to the standard 20"? Could I run a fixed stock with it?
