which upper

[bgblue1978]

I'm thinking about a new upper for my ar. i typically shoot steel targets out to 1k yards max. im torn between

-nice .223 upper with a quality barrel
-6.5 grendel
-palmeto state just released their .224 valkyrie upper for $449

Thoughts on these 3 options?

Hard to go wrong with White Oak Armament for a quality upper

I have a few from PSA. While they are not top quality, they are not junk either. I actually use some to compete out to 600 yards. Choose the correct twist in .223/5.56. If I'm shooting a match on a 600 yd range, I use a 1-7 twist and 77 gr ammo. If shooting a simulated 600 yds at 300 yds on reduced targets, I use my 1-8 twist and 75 gr ammo.

Call Compass Lake Engineering and talk to Mr. White. He is one of the best when it comes to AR's. www.compasslake.com/

only 1000 yard round you listed may be the 224 valk...

223 is pushing it, 6.5 could do it but depends on your elevation. sea level, My 6.5 gredel gets squirrly at 850 yards.

No one really knows about the valk yet... I keep reading on it and no one has one, it just all speculation and talk.

If you go with the Grendel case, the 6mm Fat Rat is a great round for the ar15...call Lee Wells

Another vote for the White Oak line of AR uppers.

Some interesting options here: http://www.6mmar.com/

My suggestion is the Grendel from Bear Creek Arsenal.

Plus one on the White Oak. Competition ready!

If i was going to try to shoot an AR that far with no restrictions I'd do it with a 6mmAR Turbo (6Fatrat) It's a Grendel case neckd to 6mm with a 40* shoulder. Will push a 105 at 2900 out of an AR.

I've read that it's best to match the mfg method of the upper to the lower: machined versus forged, but have no experience as to whether it matters or not.

White Oak, Keystone Accuracy or Compass Lake are the three top AR15 smiths in the country. Just saw a teaser from WOA about 224V, he might be gearing up to chamber barrels soon. A 26" 224V with extended gas system has piqued my interest for a new match rifle upper...
