I am in the process of building number 8; 16" mid length .300 AAC BLK, SOTA Arms Barrel, Aero Precision upper, lower and forearm, PSA LPK, BCG and CH, Magpul CTR Butt stock assy. As yet undecided on scope and mount.
This is my first AR that is not either .223 or 5.56 I agree that accurate bolt guns are hard to beat and I do have several but ARs are hard to beat for being fun to shoot and for their typical out of the box(es) accuracy.
