Hi cmdc: Before I say anything about the AA Ultralight I should put out the disclaimer that I have an AA Ultralight upper for sale in the classified section so please take what I say for what it's worth with that in mind.
I found the Ultralight to be the lightest upper I have ever felt.
I was lucky enough to know someone who had one when I was trying to decide what I wanted to buy and I was able to shoot his Ultralight before making my decision.
His upper shot sub-moa and was very quick to move for follow-up shots and really nice to carry with the lower weight.
It also was easy to handle in getting into and out of a vehicle( pick-up truck in my case).
I actually bought( and am now selling) two uppers at the same time. I bought the Ultralight upper and the GDMR upper.
My thinking at the time was that I would use the GDMR upper for target shooting and then when I wanted to hunt I would just switch the uppers and put on the Ultralight.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to use either one of the uppers other than putting 12 rounds through the GDMR upper when I was zeroing a scope.
It shot sub-moa and would expect the same from the Ultralight with the Satern barrel since that's what the one I shot did.
Hopefully this all helps(even if I'm long winded) and it will be interesting to hear what Bill has to say when he shoots the Ultralight as it may have a different barrel than a Satern since they don't make Grendel barrels anymore.
Good Luck and if you have any questions, please ask.
