Hey vascar - you made a good point that I left somewhat ambiguous in my post regarding what my accuracy goals are. I'd like to be sub-moa-ish but don't need to be 1/4 or even necessarily 1/2 moa. If I could keep a 3" circle at 400 yds I'd be satisfied and will be happy as a clam if I can keep in a five-inch circle at 600. Honestly, I'd even likely be happy with moa performance.
Thanks for the scoop on the Faxon. I knew it was lower in the range than Proof or such and liked their specs. But I'm not convinced I will get out of it what I hope to. But, on the flip-side - I am not looking to keep a 2-inch group at 1,000 yds or compete with this weapon either and such do not want to invest $5,000. I'm hoping to keep the weapon under $2,000 (before the suppressor - I have a Sandman S but haven't researched if it's enough for 6.5G). But at the same token I'd like to perch this all on a Radian or ADM lower unless someone here can tell me they get the same performance out of an Aero M4E1 or equivalent. Mostly looking to ADM or Radian as I have a couple LMT (one MARS) already and would like to try one of these others for comparison. But if I'm using a BCM upper my OCD tends to want to match the receivers up too.
But then you add in another great point. Your logic is sound that I'll need a higher-end barrel to help compensate for using factory loads. I hadn't thought of it that way but will going forward.
I'll definitely check out your recommendations, thanks for taking the time to write this up. Good info!
