Ultimate Killing AR...

[Kino M]

I just built up my first AR15 in 223 Wylde. Primarily going to be a truck/calling rig for dogs, and also a longer range steel plinker out to 800. Plan is to shoot the 52g eldms/53g vmax for dogs and 73g eldms/75g BTHP Match for longer steel.

Aero Lower, LaRue MBT Trigger, Laruth MBA-1 Adjustable stock, MOE K2+ grip, WOA 20" Krieger 7.7 twist upper, Warne 20 MOA mount, Burris E1 Fullfield 4-14x with LR MOA reticle. Comes in right at 11#

You might consider getting a nice free float handguard to get some more accuracy from that rig, I wouldn't want a nice Krieger hamstrung by a 1986 handguard!

It is a national match free floated tube. The only reason I may get a Qual rail is to attach a bipod to later.

OP do you ever run into issues running a 22" with suppressor? I tried a 24" with suppressor and it only lasted one night. I hunt out of a blind at night though.

Not at all, I don't hunt out of a blind at night, I'm standing, with my rifle mounted on a tripod.

I do a lot of hiking and usually shoot seated from stix. Only thing I would change is bring the barrel down to 20".

@Kino M @DiRTY DOG

What type of ballistics are you guys getting out of these setups? Curious about your scope height, zero distance, rise before zero, drop after zero, etc.

I zero at 100 yards but usually dial up to 200 yards on the stand. That way I'm good to 280 without any holdover. The rare shot opportunity past that usually allows time to laser it. My 6DTI was purpose built as a sub-300 yard calling rifle and I like to call them in close.

Here's a chart with 100 yard zero, 6DTO 55gr NBT-LF @ 3560 fps (DA 1500).
