Nearing my eighth decade and wanting to continue to enjoy the shooting sport, I decided to build a rifle for the AR Tactical matches. While my 6.5 Grendel performs very well at 600 yards, it does run out of steam at 1000. Rules are simple, an AR in any Caliber from 5.56 to 7.62, 20" max barrel length, 4.5# minimum trigger weight, 15X maximum scope, 14# maximum rifle weight with all accessories,
bipod or front rest allowed and minimalist rear support.
Having had good luck with the 6mm AR and managing to keep the 112 grain Barns Match Burner comfortably supersonic at 1K, I began a quest for a 20" barrel in the H-BAR contour. Fortunately, McGowan will provide for my need at a reasonable price.
That along with a 4.5# Hyperfire trigger, a Cabelas (!) 3-15X SFP scope, a 20 MOA mount and what other parts I have laying around should make for an entertaining season.
