Anything over 1.5 inches at 100 yards will be out the door as fast as it came in BUT if you're telling me bfh will shoot 1.25" groups at 100 and the 410ss will shoot 1" then I think I'd rather have the lighter weight of a lw enhanced bfh.
    I already knew the thread would get to this at the first page. Splitting inches over the internet is a horrible way to determine physics in the real world. No one can guarantee anything, especially not down to .25's of an inch when shooter, ammo, barrel, humidity, temperature, altitude, and MET-TC are all variables.

    Im surprised that you haven't looked into a Colt SOCOM barrel, as those have repeatedly done outstanding in Molon's test, which besides doing your own testing, is probably the best comparable way to subjectively look at a barrel.

    He doesn't want to build and I doubt he wants to pin.

    Seems from the research I've done the ss barrels are more like .75ish moa shooters and the bfh is 1.5ish moa. That's a big enough spread to justify the stainless in my mind. I was just saying it it was going to be a tiny improvement it wouldn't be worth it. I really want this gun to be the most accurate I own.

    Sorry to hear you believe that but that is a very inaccurate and incorrect statement.
    Not going to get into specifics because it's been gone over at least 1,000 times. Bushmaster is not in the same league as BCM.

    So I ended up buying a 16" 410ss ion bond black with 13" KMR alpha. I also ordered a standard BCM complete lower with the new BCM trigger. Super pumped.

    I'm thinking the only thing I may eventually upgrade is the trigger and I'll probably get some flip up sights to shoot it without a scope. I intend to put a leupold VX R 4-12 on it with the fire dot 4 recital. Can someone recommend a good lightweight QD scope mount as well as a good inexpensive set of backup sights?

    My Magpul STRs have zero slop whatsoever.

    Take a look at LaRue Tactical.
