Thinking of putting together a 22 Arc.
I have a spare lower sitting in the safe that the wife got me for Christmas as a stocking stuffer.
I have a 6 Arc and a 223 now. But thought about doing a 22 Arc next but not sure if ill really see any gain over the 223.

I’ve been shooting the 75 grain ELDM’s through my 16” 22ARC, much more killing power than the 223 and FAR less wind deflection when you start getting out past 200 yards. If you’re looking for more confidence on those 200 yard plus shots the 22ARC is just the ticket. But I’ll say invest in a good barrel or that extra range is useless, I’d look at an Odin or proof barrel.

what are you using for a magazine in your 22ARC

I think one is a cut barrel and the other button pulled. Reviews seem to be positive.

Exactly Liberty is button pulled, While Satern is a single point cut. Steve does a pretty good job having shot a lot of High power.
His Wife Debra is an absolute Joy to work with, she will get your product to you as fast as possible.
I have two of their barrels, none shot 1 moa. Sad to report half of that, or slightly less on five shot groups (one is a Liberty, the other a Satern barrel, and NOT a 22 ARC, but 5.56mm).

Did some work. The bullet I wanted to use wasn't very good. Switched to ELD-VT, and shooting much better. Two prospective loads are at MOA or better. More to follow after this weekend.

I'm thinking that getting an AR to shoot MOA (or better) is about as good as it gets. There are exceptions though.

I agree. I have bolt guns that shoot bugholes and my AR's are just Meh! But trying to get them to shoot better is what we do.

In all fairness to AR's I personally can't shoot them as well as I can my bolt guns so I always take that into consideration when comparing how well my AR's shoot.
 
Er shaw makes an awesome ar barrel. It turned my 6.5 grendel from 1.5 to 2 moa into .5 to .75 moa. But for extreme accuracy im taking a bolt gun, and probably a Tikka.
