Building an AR for medium range

[trapper99]

I am picking up a Sun Devil lower tuesday. I am thinking about going with the .204. It is a complete lower with RRA parts kit. I need everything else. Any ideas from any of you on who to look to for parts and more info. I am wanting good accuracy to be good for coyotes out to around 300 yards or a little more. I might go up to the 223 to get a littl more distance.

What is medium range? 250 to 300 yards or 500 to 600 yards?

I am going to build this for a coyote gun. I am guessing 400 and under. It is going to be my primary call gun. I think I will stick with the 223 because its a lot easier to find.

White Oak Armament sells really nice varmint uppers in .204 and .223. I'd contact them first. Compass Lake Engineering,CLE) also makes great uppers. If you go with .223 I'd get a 1/7 or 1/8 twist and run 68/69 or 75/77 grain match bullets. They buck wind better at long range.

I have a 'White Oak Armament' varmint upper/223rem.,1x7. I don't think you can do any better for the money.

I would say get at least a 20inch tube on your rifle.
