ebbiv Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Anyone have one of these with the high rise .525 slick side upper? Im curious what kind of accuracy you’re getting, ive heard claims of sub moa@100 some claiming @2 even 300 and others that is the most inaccurate they’ve ever owned. I know there kind of scarce but just curious. I used mine at a beginners long range course and shot as well and better several bolt guns there to 850 yards, although ive been shooting for years just not at distances that far while others were completely new to shooting period, so auto vs bolt compared to experience vs none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armed Eye Doc Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 Welcome to the forum. Is it a factory gun or did you/someone build it from parts? Can you post a more detailed list of your gun and its parts? You already know this, but there many things that can affect accuracy with the barrel being one of them. ARs are different than bolt guns and large frame ARs are different than AR15s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikedaddyH Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 I bought an upper with the low rise receiver . That 24" bull barrel was heavy. Total weight of the gun was 19 lbs. Our group shot it in Sierra Vista. I think 450 yards uphill at targets. But that was like a decade ago. Also remembered shooting it at 900 yards downhill at 4 peaks at posters mounted to a half sheet of plywood. That DPMS was very accurate !

Hi, yes i found it on an auction new in the box, then, its a slick side with the .525 High Rise Upper, and 24" Bull Barrel. did a drop in trigger, PRS Stock, 5-25x50 Vortex Viper PST G2, and the bipod. took it to a 2 day long range course, and everyone there had a 20" Bolt action, so got the Autoloaders aren't accurate, its too heavy, which is a plus,and assorted jabs, I'm not for hunting, so what if its 19lbs. Anyway we shot out to 850 yards, and although that's the farthest I've shot, I had no issues hitting steel, while one of the guys with a 6.5 Tikka 6.5 Creedmoor and $4,000 Steiner Scope was stuck trying to make 400, which had to be him, but none of the others shot any better than I did. The instructors were current LE Snipers and one tried it out said he and he was impressed how stable and well it shot. There was an article online recently about how even if you spent 5K an AR will never get near any bolt action rifle with any precision. I'll have to find the site it was kinda comical. Anyway I'm pretty new to long range, so curious what someone experienced can do with one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterrex Posted April 17, 2022 Report Share Posted April 17, 2022 CDNN still has a few of those slick side uppers for sale. I used one to build a 308 pistol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a match trigger, and good optic build a. Dope chart real time with a. Chrono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'da come out here to shoot, that's the very first thing I would have pointed out to you, and made you change, before shooting anything out here.

Never mind - I just saw the other thread, which also has better photos so I see what you noticed. Too far back, in case anyone else is wondering.

Too far back, in case anyone else is wondering. Exactly - like 3 full inches too far back. There's no way that comfortable to shoot, or effective, when most modern scopes have 3~3.5" of eye relief. You cheek has to be on the end of the buttstock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did, height was measured for computer, and ammo was chrono'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not, its a quick mount I just set in on there for the photo and those were taken before the course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
