John Holliger of White Oak Precision is one of the country's premier AR smiths and a competitior (of national fame) himself. His website is:

White Oak Precision - Service Rifle Uppers

He also does a superb job of re-barreling as well as tuning RRA triggers, pining rear sights etc.. and, he's a nice guy to talk to.

PS

Carl Bernosky won last year's NRA High Power rifle championship (2384 out of 2400) with a WOA match upper. That's a pretty good commercial in my book.

Also Compass Lake Engineering make great competition uppers.

I'd have to go with recommending White Oak Prec. here, have 1 of his service rifle RR AR's with a 1-7 Krieger, sight job,float tube & service rifle match trigger, if I could only convince HER, we would have 2 of his rifles in our safe.

Get a WOA with the WIlson bbl. I guarantee you that it will outshoot YOU and the rest of us! No need to spend the big bucks on the Krieger, PacNor, etc.

Yeah, might be a few bucks more than a RRA, but you will soon discover its worth it. Oh, and get the pinned rear sight while you are at it.

Mudcat, how big an improvement does a pinned rear sight get you?

I'd be interested in this also, and the cost. I likely missed it, but didn't see it on the web site.

Tommy,
Dual pinned uprade is an extra $55
Go to http://www.whiteoakarmament.com/ and click on complete uppers and you'll see it. I have the option on all my uppers after owning my 1st Bushmaster upper than you had to keep adding windage going back from 300 then 600. With my White Oak pinned uppers the no wind windage zero is the same from 100 to 600 yards and VERY repeatable....

If the $55 is going to crimp the budget skip it and you'll be fine.
If you can swing it definately get it...

OK, That makes sense.. 'keeps the sight from canting as it rises, right?
Thanks!
