If a guy were going to shoot some informal benchrest type shooting and wanted to do it with an ar type rifle, what caliber would be a good choice other than a 308? And who would you have build this gun? Lee
well you can have a ar-10 upper in alot of different calibers. They make them in just about any that you can think of. If I was going to make it in a caliber I would make it in that new 6.8. I dont know how good it does long range but idk of anything that would be a good caliber. There is a friend of mine with a regular ar-15 upper that is chambered in 204ruger for a varmint gun. If I was you I would look at a match upper and lower reciever from stag arms and get a barrel from lilja or company like that. For a trigger I would use jewel. But I have no idea who you would have build the gun besides a gun smith. hope this helps. good luck
I'm not that big a fan of the black rifle but if I was going to have one built it would probably be in .260 Rem. or maybe even 6.5 Creedmore. Would also consider the 6.8 SPC.
