If u go for the M16A4 look do the dissipator. They are the essence of cool....

A 20" high quality barreled AR can be a joy to shoot , especially off a bench... at vermin...

 

[greyling22]

there are many option, but I could easily narrow it down to "not a 223"

I'm partial to an 18" 6.5 grendel with a 15" handguard myself. shoots soft, hits hard.

Thank for the input everyone! Ultimately I went with an 18" .450 Bushmaster. State laws are goofy for hunting in Michigan but with a .450 I can hunt anywhere during gun season. Shes a beast. Cheers!

I have 3 ARs now. One is a 10.5" pistol. (My favorite)
One Ruger SR556, and one beater Anderson build .223 that rides in the tractor and combine with me.
If I were to build a fourth, it would be in 7.62x39.

I only have one AR, an Armalite M4-type.

Now that all of my rifle focus has been on maximum accuracy my AR doesn’t get out very often.

So for me, another AR platform would be something like a 20” match-type configuration shooting either heavy .223 or 6.5 Grendel and I’d probably just get it as another upper for my Armalite lower

Try something other than a .223. I have several in different calibers and am considering one in .450 Bushmaster but I already have one in .50 Beowulf so I'm wondering why I'm even considering the .450......

I am really digging my 18" barrel AR, too. Still light enough to handle decently offhand for fast-shooting stuff, but just a little more velo' for longer ranges. And very, very smooth in terms of recoil/jump.
