I am trying to get an idea and learn about what one would do in building an AR-15.
Intentions for this rife. 600 yards maximum. Hunting WhiteTail, Yotes, Prairie Pups, hogs, shooting steel. I live in western Oklahoma and deal with wind on a regular basis. If it applies, not sure if it does, my knowledge about keeping a rifle tuned up is somewhat limited. Oh heck, it doesn't even exist. So high maintenance calibers may not be ideal for me. If this issue even applies to an AR platform.
Now, if you were in my shoes,
What would be your ideal caliber and how would you build the rifle?
i.e. From the ground up.
Is it to much to expect that the rifle be capable of sub-MOA?
Budget $1,800
Glass, I have that covered. Just looking for the rifle.
Oh, one other thing. My experience is with bolt actions. I am way behind the curve when it comes to the AR-15 platform.
Thanks for your help and advice.
