Do I need to invest in a billet receiver and a top shelf barrel to get decent accuracy, or can it be done with a mid range ($300-400) barrel and a good forged receiver, or will a $200 barrel get it done. What do I need to shoot sub-MOA? I know you can't judge how good of a marksman I may or may not be, or my technical ability to properly assemble an AR, or my ability to develop a proper handload, so let's assume I can shoot, reload and assemble an AR without buggering up the job. Is it reasonable to assume that I should be able to assemble an sub-MOA upper and how deep do I need to go to achieve it?
I would echo A5, but in addition, accuracy is something only you can define. If you have shot for a while you should know which components are most crucial to achieving same, thus which other ones you can go more economically on.
What are you going to be happy with.
O, one more question I guess I should ask: how many times have you bought/built a rifle and right from the git-go it was sub-moa? If you have done so I imagine it was a quality system with a corresponding $$ tag. Or maybe you were that lucky 1/1000 guy.... either way you probably know the answers you're seeking.
When talking about "how accurate is xyz..." I sometimes think the poster is saying "bring me a rock..." -- that's just me I guess.
