Long-range AR15 barrel?

As long a barrel as you can tolerate
1-7 or 1-8, wont really matter with 75gr
Any barrel that gets recommended every time someone says "which brand barrel do I get" will do fine
 
Each inch of barrel on a 223 gas gun equates to roughly 25fps above 16” length.
Twist for your intended purpose and projectile weight is more important.
as a general rule, anything above 18” on a gasser delivers very minimal improvements.
The military uses a 20” on their sniper that is good to 800yds.
