Re: AR accuracy and barrel length Thanks for the information. I am planning on staying with 223 and range will probably not exceed 600yards for this build. If all works out good plan on building either an AR-10 platform in a 260 Rem. or 6.5 Creedmoor. My current bolt is Rem. 700 in 6.5 x...

Re: Suppressor and accuracy Thanks for the information will try the search again.

I have a nicely worked over Remington 700 in a 6.5 x 47 that is very accurate. I know that putting a suppressor on it will affect my zero point. How will it affect my accuracy? Will a caliber specific can be more accurate than say getting a 30 cal. can? Any experience or knowledge you can share...
