Thread: NEW TO THE AR's, WHAT IS THE BETTER OPTION?

So, just some advise please.
I have been looking for an AR15 and i have interest the following options or similar configurations with fast twist rate:

Stag Arms Model6 Varmint 5.56 mil spec or Windhan VEX SS(Varmint) .223?

Any help?

Cheers.

Mac

happy with my windham accurate can get a tad heavy after a while but I suppose that's ar15 in general I'm looking for a new sling to sort that I hand load to get the most out of it

Boy, you have almost the setup i am looking for, love your scope option, i just can't afford another PST.
Thank you and how accurate can you get it reloading?
Cheers.

Sub minute have not really done aheap of playing around with loads using a load that seams to shoot well in my tika 223and just seated projectile Different due to magazine should do more research but the time thing giving serious consideration on go to a heavier projectile (using 55 nosler ballistic. Tips. 26 grins of bm2) not because. I'm unhappy with 55s. It's just that I can over Xmas I will spend some quality time with a crony and see what I can get out of this rifle .i I have achieved some very long shot kills 400 rabbits 500yd wallabies all in perfect. Conditions I'm sure when I miss it's not the set up its me

Also hornaby steel practice ammo does sub min but seems to be hard to get at stages that's prob the main reason for hand loading for me

I have the same rifle - WW VEX SS.
Using the cheapy American Eagle AR223 ammo it does less than an MOA at the range.

Bloody heavy to carry around, but fantastic on top of a hill blatting away at hares at extended range

These varminters and especially the Stag has a looooong 24inch hvy barrel. Do you really want that weight and length?

Where do you get the ammo from?

Gun City - $97.50 for 100rounds.

get 20 inch 1-7 or 1-8 twist, Wouldn't bother myself with Varmiter barrels unless you are planning on vehicle base shooting, they are F%&k*n heavy

If you are varmint shooting get a 18-20" lighter weight barrel. Those long heavy rifles are made for shooting prairie dogs from a table.

I use a 22" 1in8 barrel on my varmint AR and I'll probably get it chopped to 19 or 20 at some point (19 would have the can only just off the handgard hence the weird length).

I would vote for the windham as every one I have seen has seemed very well made and shoot well. And the barrel is a bit more portable than that on the stag

So, thank you everyone who reply, it is very much appreciated.
I must agree with the WW rifle BUT, my problem with this weapon is the twist rate. I reload 65gr SIERRA Game King and 69gr Sierra Match King and I will be more comfortable with a "faster" twist 1:7-1:8.
Any "more" advise?
Thank you a lot for your time and advise

A ww-vex has a twist rate of 1:8?

1:8 is correct
