I would just go with a 8 twist and not limit yourself like the majority of people have said. A 12 or 14 will work fine for the 200yards but you will probably want a little higher bc bullet for 500-600 yards.
Midway has AR-Stoner mags in-stock for $13.99, not c-products but I typed it fast

I am looking at getting a Criterion 20" HBAR barrel and I was wondering if anyone has experience with these barrels? It says it has a hybrid chamber and it is "match quality"
I have used a Vortex Razor HD 20-60 and it is ok but I haven't been able to pick out bullet holes unless I am shooting a shoot and see target.
I have looked through the Kenai HD and I would not recommend it either.
I would say you have high hopes. Good Luck
I would say that you should use the best bipod that you can make weight with. I wouldn't worry about finding the lightest bipod unless you have a 16lb rig and need to make weight. I would say that the best bipods I would look at are the sinclair mod 3, center shot, and dublin.
Here is a recent build I started as a fun project and then the SHTF and about everything I had ordered or needed disappeared. Here is what I have so far and just got the confirmation that more parts are on the way.
Hoping to find an SPR barrel soon
