Consider varmint rifles from Rock River Arms. A woodchuck gun already custom-built from the factory. 24" vs 20" vs 18" vs 16". Will the 20" barrel have an accuracy advantage over the 16" barrel? Why a handy carbine for chucks? With a pic or weaver rail, can instantly go from varminter to home defender by changing sight systems. I would want mil-spec sights for home defense and a varmint scope for varmints. These Rock River AR's hover around $1,300 in price. Might as well get two guns in one if accuracy is good enough in the shorter barrel. The Rock River varmint ARs also features a Wylde chamber. Supposedly, it can handle 5.56 and .223 equally well.
This video above is claiming 5/8 MOA with a 20" barrel.

Rick River Arms claims 3/4 MOA for both the 16" and the 20" versions. 3/4 MOA is good for woodchucks out to how far? How far for prairie dogs? Ground squirrels?
The RRA varmint versions also feature the Elevated Optical Platform. The receiver pic rail is higher than the handguard pic rail. I'm not sure if there is even an iron sight system available for this particular gun model. Uneven rail heights from fore to aft. Tactical ARs tend to be true flat tops. The picatinny/weaver rail system is flush from front to rear.
