A 6.5 Grendel with a 24 inch barrel sounds like what you are looking for. I am not sure what your questions are, maybe if you used question marks (looks like this ? ) at the end of each question, we could answer better.
Wow. Sorry about that.:o
Let me try something with some questions. I can't believe I did that.
1) Is the armalite likely to be a suitable platform for building a 1/2 (or so) moa rifle?
2) Specifically what parts would I need for this project?
3) Where could I learn to do this job? I'm thinking youtube may have the answer on this one. I have a gunsmith friend who I am sure would help if necessary, but I try not to take up too much of his time.
I've broken clay pidgeons laying on the burm at 1000 with my 300wm. I'm not expecting quite that much accuracy from a semi-auto hunting rifle. Groundhogs at 300 would be nice though. I have a 6.5-20 Leupold which should be adequate for that.
Thanks for the response. Still can't believe my first post was such a mess.
