Thanks for the replies everyone. Lots of good info and it appears I need to go dedicated long range if I want to make this a reality as a 16" bespoke upper probably won't cut it.
Some thoughts so far:
Krieger makes a 20" blank and I could have the same smith who put my 308 together chamber it. I understand 5.56 has more limitations at distance than heavier 308s but aside from that is it a safe bet if Krieger can make a good 308 barrel their 223 AR barrel should be good too?
Does hand guard choice have any effect on accuracy? If I went 15" KMR-A vs 15" DD Lite III is there a preference? One is $200 more. But stiffness has to mean something I'm assuming...
Why are MURs out of stock everywhere?
As for the lower - I've already got an SSA-E and have ordered an A5. Is the SSA-E light enough or should I get something lighter? I love the SSA-E but it's obviously no Timney 510.
