New to Ar22 and going for a replica of my 11.5" 556
I've been contemplating building a dedicated 22lr upper to run on one of my sbr lowers for a while now, and decided I would fully replicate my 11.5" upper in the process. I will be using an aero stripper receiver, bcm mcmr 10, and going with a bore buddy barrel and bolt combo.
I'm just trying to decide if I should go apogee match or apogee for the barrel. Maybe I just need a sounding board to think out loud, as I've read a ton of posts and may have information overload. With the money I'm already putting into this build (albeit admittedly excessively) I'd like to save the extra 100, but at the same time, another 100 isn't that much more expensive if the quality of the match barrel is that noticeable over the non match barrel.
My 11.5" shoots sub moa at 100y with the right ammo, and I would at least like moa or better at 100" with the 22lr, but my real big plan with this one is to get metal targets set up in the standing ranges and do more close quarter stuff, likely 25-50y. The biggest driving factor for wanting to do the dedicated 22 upper is to use it as a trainer and to get into some local 22 events on top of just training fundamentals and movement without the cost of 223/556. I feel like with that in mind, the normal apogee might be plenty?
Anyone have any thoughts they could share? point me in the right direction?
