[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1476327, member: 10178"] I just built a upper with a Oden Works 18" mid length gas 8" twist 223 Whild (SP?) chamber. Shoots sub MOA with about everything I have tried so far. The Whild chamber is supposed to be the best of both worlds better accuracy of the 223 Rem and handle pressure of 5.56. Yes for everyday plinking and varmints and in a pinch with really precise bullet placement with a proper constructed 60ish gr bullet at under 200 yards deer rifle. But here is another vote for 6.5 Grendel if you want a really good AR15 platform longer range varmint, target and medium game rifle. It uses a different bolt and magazine than the 223/300BO but everything else is the same. ("There’s a guy over in accurate shooter selling 6.5 Grendel uppers for $250 a pop. Doesn’t get better than that.") I was always taught if it sounds too good to be true then it usually is not true. If this is a complete upper then I would stay away from it. That cheep it has to have a Bear Creek Arsenal barrel and it is a crap shoot if you get one that will shoot and keep bullets on a pie plate at 100 yards. Been there done that and have the Tshirt.
