I'm going with a Krieger 24" Varmatch barrel in 7.7 twist, with a JP Enhanced bolt.
Which chamber?
Haven't decided yet...
I think they offer 3 chamberings for that cartridge.
.223 Wylde
.223 Remington for 44-77 gr bullets
And 5.56 Match for loading longer than mag length, with bullets over 80 gr.
I like the idea of being able to load over mag length just in case I ever get to stretch it out and want a heavier bullet, but 99 percent of my shooting will be lightweight projectiles under 300 yards. I'll never shoot factory ammo through it, not sure if I ever have shot any 5.56 since I've had 2 presses before I even had an AR, so I don't need 5.56 or Wylde...?
My main goal with this rifle is super precise, accurate shots, taken prone on paper at 100-300 yards. That's it.
I'll get their opinion on Monday when I order it. Feel free to offer up any other opinions from the group.

Barrels? Why the change?

No, still Krieger 7.7 twist, but bought through White Oak so they can chamber them with their chamber.

Well, I just shot 5 three shot groups with my LaRue Grendel and averaged .390 moa

Nice job, can't wait to start load development for this! I hear people say "Precision shooting with a gas gun is way different than a bolt gun" am anxious to see what all the fuss is about...
