Definitely change the trigger. Standard AR triggers are terrible.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

Oh I know the factory triggers suck and it has a good Vortex scope on it already. That said I'm not complaining with the accuracy of the 16" 308, I just don't particulary care for the short barrel. The balance of the rifle sucks and its god awful loud. Something about it I just don't like and am thinking of changing it up instead of selling it.

The 20” 6.5CM we built is a tack driver. Have you thought of doing a barrel swap?

Marshmud, what’s that 6.5 weigh?
“Killing tomorrow’s trophies today.”
On the distance I like to walk to my stands: “The first 100 yards is also the last 100 yards.”

PSA has a complete 308 upper with a 20” stainless barrel for $399 right now.

Upgrade the trigger, add a decent scope, and check accuracy with what you have. You may be surprised.
I changed my trigger and it made a world of difference. Where I hunt about 50-60 max to shoot so I sighted in my leupold at 50, shot 3 rounds after adjustments and they were all toughing each other!! This is the DPMS Ar-10 oracle(cheapest they make).

Yes. I cant possibly touch on all the variables that go into making a precision AR in a post, but here are some very important things to concider.
Use a good quality barrel that is known for quality, like a Bartlien or a Proof Research, in a proper length, and twist rate. Dont go too short or you will lose too much velocity for precision shooting in a particular caliber. I say particular caliber, because velocity needed will vary by caliber and bullet, etc. Go too long and it's too bulky and you get more muzzle whip, which is a factor in the equation. Id let the barrel maker or gunsmith tell you what length and twist is working best for them in the caliber you want order. Most of the velocity data that I have browsed over is done using a 24" barrel. A 20" barrel isnt going to give you the velocity of a 24". Most benchrest shooters use a 26" fyi. Not that you would want one that long on an AR, but just something to keep in the back of your mind. Another factor to consider is the thickness of your barrel. The closer to a bull barrel the better for precision. Obviously you dont want to lug a bull barrel through the woods, so if your hunting with it, then get the heaviest thickness you are willing to deal with. Then get a good trigger. This is as important as the barrel. Trigger tech and timney make some good ones for ARs.
Do those things and you have a good start. Try to add the highest quality components you can. Then do some load development and you will have something closer to a precision gun. Depending on the caliber there may be some factory ammo that performs ok. Most factory ammo doesn't shoot a consistant enough velocity each round to do any precision work.
