Welcome Gopher!
Go to gun for what distance?
The AA uppers are top quality. The Shilen (or Satern) barrels are worth the money if you are looking for best possible accuracy. The 20" barrels shoot well out to 800 yards, but this is not an 800 yard deer or antelope cartridge. Of course the .308 isn't either!
My 19.5 inch AA upper shot .25MOA groups, so I would expect a Shilen barreled rifle to shoot sub MOA at 100 yards.
