I have the armlite 16 in barrel and same as above would not hestitate a bit to take a 300 yrd shoot as well. The longer barrel is ok but they kind of get in the way on a stand sometimes. My opion is the 16 or 18 inch is a really good match for the ar. They swing good and it cuts down a little on the weight with the shorter barrels. I would shoot yours and see how it feels to you and how it shoots and go from there. You shoot it you might fall in love with it. I konw every time i got the RRA out of the truck or tryed to move it around inside to let someone in i was all ways bumpen the top part of the barrel on something with the 16 in i yet to have that problem.
