DV,
Your occasional 0.3MOA is out of a Savage bolt gun, but sounds perfectly reasonable. You won't get that in an AR15 however. Even with the best brand of barrel the AR still is to light, too flexible, too narrow and rounded in the handguard to maximise the barrel's potential. It's not a 16lb monster with 3-inches wide of flat bag-riding stock on a $2K Jeb rest, loading single rounds through the ejection port because that makes the action even stiffer. It's a cheap, mass produced minimalist semi-auto. The AR15 is a handicap, so if group size is important why handicap it further with a rack barrel?
