    From my small frame of referance getting a accurate upper is less of a challange than getting a reliable upper. Take this test group fired out of my first low budget experaments with precision AR's:

    Entry DMR build


    15 rounds sustained fire (i.e. I was holding the center of a 3" orange mirage blob) while coming off the gun between shoots because my 8 year old daughter wanted to GO NOW! Just over an inch at 100 yards including fouling shots out of a oiled barrel. Barrel by ER Shaw, upper by... wait for it.... Model 1 Sales!!!! Factory reloads from Blackhills.

    I recently retired that rifle (with upgrades) for a set of Noveske's. A SPR and a Light Carbine, both VIS. I haven't bothered to do photos of the groups lately. Customer service and known relablity/durablity are what the main stream of this board look for first. BCM, Noveske, Colt, Knight, LMT, LaRue, ect..... provide that known qualtiy. Thus they are highly reguarded in this board.

    Noveske SPR before paint


    The ventures of some of the high end pistol makers into the AR world are sometimes just odd, with some parts apparently picked for profit margin vs. utility.

    Choose the combination of features that you want from a proven brand and then get good with it. Select good ammo to feed it with, attend some classes and if you are out shooting it, then look around again. Start chasing your Unicorn later.

    Well I have to concur. When my KAC went down Knights was on top of it. Tim made sure I was happy and made my SR15 better then new. To date I have not had to use Spikes CS so I can't comment directly about them.

    Thanks for your interest just the same?

    So now the question I have for you....if that is your AR of choice, why would you sell it and leave this gem of a reply in another thread...talking about a walking contradiction. This is classic

    My favorite part is where you relagate your Spikes to the same class as the BCM......and by your own words..."Neither of these two companies can hold a candle to Knights Armament"

    I think this got missed in the mix...

    So do we have an answer to the original question? A specific builder or manufacturer? Particular barrels/builds? Individual guns? Some combination of the three?

    Since people can't seem to pay attention to a mod when he says knock off the bullshit, everyone is done with this thread.
    Only hits count......you can not miss fast enough to catch up
