Looking for an accurate AR-15 upper

[GetmeoutaCT]

Hello all -

I purchased a Stag Model 6H upper for range use at 200 + yards. It was a well-built upper and very accurate; however, with a 24-inch stainless bull barrel it was too heavy and not well balanced. So, my loss was my friend's gain, but I'm looking for another. Can anyone recommend a reasonably accurate AR-15 upper in 5.56, perhaps 18 to 20 inches long, that will not break the scale (or the bank)?

Thank you-

What is reasonably accurate to you?

Well, the Stag could put rounds in the same hole at 200 yards with a halfway decent scope and a rest; it had a 1/8 twist also.

Granted, 200 yards is not much of a test, but it's hard to find longer ranges here in tiny (liberal) CT, but that's a different story...

I've been pleased with my Wilson Combat barrel. Not sure if they sell complete uppers, easy enough to roll your own though.

Rock River ATH has worked well for me.

I have a rock river predator pursuit upper with a 20" barrel that is extremely accurate. It has a heavy barrel, but not a full bull barrel. It would be lighter than your original upper, but still pretty heavy.

Model One varmint uppers are pretty slick.

I have a 16 inch one and it's served me very well.

Sota Arms

You might look at Sota Arms uppers. I don't know that they'll put "rounds in the same hole" at 200 yards but of course that depends on how big the hole is. I have a couple of their uppers and am quite pleased with them. Unlike others who advertise "complete" uppers, the Sota Arms uppers come with a bolt carrier group and charging handle which makes $299 look even better.
