I need a new AR upper. Well, I don't NEED it, but I want it. This upper will be used for hunting deer and wee little piggies inside of 300 yards. It is not intended to be a CQB carbine - it's a field tool. I currently have a scoped 7.62x39 16" flattop AR that works well as a brush gun but it starts to run out of steam past 200 yards. I also have a 20" AR10 scoped flattop that is plenty stomping past 300 yards, but which is a bit heavy for all-day carry.
So - do I put together a 20" 6.8SPC upper for the AR15, or put together a lightweight (say, 16") upper for the AR10. The 6.8SPC will be a bit cheaper, but the costs are comparable enough not to use it as a defining decision criteria.
Thoughts?
