I'm trying to build an AR-15 in 6.5G that is lightweight (~7lbs with scope) that I would like to hunt with. I currently have one with an 18" barrel and it's kind of heavy at 9lbs with the scope. I would like to have a 24" barrel, but every one available that long is some heavy profile (bull barrel, HBAR, etc.). For this build if I can just get to 1moa accuracy I will be happy. There are a few custom barrel makers like McGowan and Columbia River Arms that can make what I want.
I was just curious if anyone else had experience building an AR-15 with a longer lightweight barrel? Did you get good cold bore accuracy or have other issues?
I know some of you will want to tell me I should just get a shorter barrel, which is fine, but I am curious if anyone has experience with rifle-length lightweight barrels in 6.5G. If anyone knows of a suitable 20"+ barrel I'm all ears. Thanks.
