    Spanners answered all of Digits questions and some.
    Have a look at Digits signature "Industry Antogonist" that says it right there.
    Spanners and 7mmsaum like this.

    A bull barrel is heavy, but if you are shooting targets off a rest,or trying to hit bunnies at range off a bi-pod, then it is probably fine. If you're going to be carrying it for any distance, or trying to shoot it offhand, then it probably isn't the best choice. It all depends on what you want the rifle for.

    Horses for courses and all that.

    If you wanted to drop the weight, maybe get in touch with someone like Scott Trail and see if he could turn it down for you. Might be an awful lot cheaper than a new barrel.

    i didn't say he didn't answer all his questions? all I'm saying is the hostility could be turned down a notch as at the end of the day what's arguing over the internet really going to achieve...? and thanks scaggly that is an option i will think about it and i really appreciate everyone's advice as everyone has there own views, a bull barrel may suit someone but I'm after a lightweight AR and i'm happy with my CMMG

    I had my original RRA 20 inch Bull barreled varmint upper turned down to JP lightweight contour. No difference in accuracy.
    Think the bill for that, and to supply/fit JP adjustable gas block and JP Bennie Cooley Comp was about $600.

    currently in the same boat looking at what to mount on my AR, so far pretty sold out for the Vortex viper PST 1-4 scope but still shopping as the funds are tight for now. i did however consider getting a mueller 1-4 scope as there half the price and seem to be good value for money then upgrade down the track IF there is even a need too as the mueller has done well in reviews, cheaper option
