I think I need a 20 inch AR

[Hop]

I'll play along here...

[SIZE=+2]My Colt A2 HBAR is extremely accurate and it has a 20 inch barrel

I started out with a A2 Bushy Target, changed to a A3 upper, then I changed the HBAR to the same style barrel my issued A4 (Govt Profile 20") has and threw on the ACOG. I will take a head sized target off at 500 and his torso will be F'd up at 600 yds! Now division Matches I used a A2 with open sights with the Govt profile and we shoot a 20" circle at 500 yds, 20rds in 20 min using a loop sling. I've put 19 in the black and I had one right outside. A govt profile is a great barrel. I got alot of money in my A4 copy. If ur not going build one then just get a M4, if your building go with the Govt profile!

Shooter1 which ACOG do you have? I'm looking at the USMC version on a Larue mount.

TAO1NSN. I had problems with the reticle flaking... Customer service sucks!

Ok, thanks man.

I'll join in this threadjack and say that even as a hobbyist shooter, I love my ACOG. I have TA33 and it is great.

The furthest I have shot my DPMS is 200 yds, I hit quite well using the A2 sights. An 8 inch target is tiny through that small peep at 200yd!! An ACOG would be nice, think I will put one on the M4 I am building.

looking at the Bushie 20 inch competition rifle or perhaps ordering one from Del-ton. The Armalite A2 for $900 looks tempting, though I would prefer a flat-top.

I would like to keep the bill around $8-900. Anyone have any experience or other suggestions?

As previously suggested, White Oak Armament is the way to go for target rifles. That being said, I got a Bravo Company 16" upper and swapped in a 20" HBAR Barrel to great success.
I am a new shooter to NRA Highpower.

Most match rifles tend to be quite heavy for stability purposes.

Free float tube is another thing you might want, if you are going for accuracy.
