Re: long range predator AR
Build a time machine first. Now is not a very good time to try to start an AR build. Parts are few and far between. Mags are non-existent. Ammunition is backordered for months. Save your money while the craziness passes. If a ban passes, you won't have anything to register. If it does not, there will be a glut in the market. Unless you can get into one cheap and can flip it pretty fast this is a terrible market for a buyer...

Re: long range predator AR
RR Predator Pursuit is a good factory choice; call Scott at Specialized Dynamics for a custom build from a stand-up HIDE vendor
---could also try Robert at RWS or Chaos Arms or Liberty Arms
personal long-range AR15 favorites are 24" 204, 22" Grendel, 26" 223-----Shilen, Satern, and Krieger barrels
decide on your personal budget first!
almost forgot White Oak----excellent uppers or barrels

I've had a hell of a time finding parts, just ordered one of these barrels: http://www.ar15performance.com/barrels (the 20" with target crown) and BCG. Their prices are reasonable. I've been looking for a 20-24" stainless match or varmint barrel for a couple months and hadn't found one for a reasonable price.
Keep your eyes open, follow a bunch of forums and you can sometimes find some parts w/o a huge premium...but they go fast. Picked up a DPMS "hi-rider" upper (not my first choice, but no time to be picky) for $88 about 2 weeks ago.

Re: long range predator AR
FWIW Lilja sells a 20" 1:8 3-groove stainless barrel but it's not cheap. Seems to be a good barrel though. Good luck with any other parts, dang it's dry out there...
Added: Scratch this, ran across the thread about problems with Lilja barrels on the Gunsmithing forum. Guess I got lucky.

White Oak is claiming a minimum of a 20 week lead time on their web site. Hopefully some distributors get some.

Re: long range predator AR
Keep in mind 75g amax is a single shot only round, as the bullet is too long on the ogive for mag length. But you probably knew that already.

Just order one and wait. It's worth every minute.
