You guys have me interested in radical and hardened arms uppers. What kind of accuracy are you getting out of your guns? Most on other forums report 1-2 MOA (I was reading on them last night just for the heck of it), which isn't bad. One guy was talking slightly under MOA with 300 BLK hand loads. Might be worth a shot for ya...should be able to sell it for the same price (if not more) if you aren't happy. Let us know if you get one!

Well I have a 6.8 that is shoots really well (Moa or less with factory loads) but was thinking that a 5.56 upper would be a fun addition to my collection. Especially for the great prices they have.

One of the best attributes of the AR platform is that it is so easy to have many flavors of upper run on the same lower. Buy good quality and get a trigger you like and a preferred stock and you can put uppers together for $200-500 all day.
5.56/.223 is great for varmints and target shooting, the military is invested in it fir shooting people (which is different from shooting game) and it will certainly kill deer and pigs. The 6.8spc was designed as an improvement over the 5.56 for mil use, and it is, especially at close engagement ranges, and is deadly on game. 6.8 ammo is easy to find but not a lot of options for projectiles.
7.62x39 is nearly interchangeable with 300blk but needs a distinct bolt and mags, like the 6.8, so you will need separate BCGs for each of those uppers. 300 blk is great within 200 yards especially on tough animals like hogs, with supersonic loads and if you have the coin and want/have a suppressor then a short-barreled pistol or SBR, expanding sub-sonic loads provide a unique challenge for up-close hunting. Then there are the longer range options such as 6.5 Grendel, 270 AR, 7mm Valkyrie, etc.

You guys have me interested in radical and hardened arms uppers. What kind of accuracy are you getting out of your guns? My 16" radical arms upper outshot my remington 700 in 300blk unsuppressed. 147 grain fiocci shot good out of it. handloads were 5 shots in a group the size of a quarter at 100yds My 8.5" was about 2" at 100 yds with 4moa red dot.

Nice. Ill have to consider these brands when I purchase a 5.56 upper.

Thats not alot compared to 30 caliber. 300 BLK has lots of choices as well. I wasn't comparing it to .300 BO or any other AR around but rather pointing out that there are plenty of choices for that cartridge.
