Recommend lightweight AR

Call 903 Tactical out of Diana. He builds lightweight AR's in house.

If you're looking for off the shelf ready to go options, it's hard to find a bad one. Rock River is good, not the lightest but excellent accuracy and reliability. Springfield Saint is worth looking at also.

Honestly I'd probably look at building my own and cutting down weight based off of what parts are on it. Skeletonized grips and all that stuff. Should be able to build a pretty light weight rifle for what a complete rifle that the whole selling point is based off of it being light is.

I'll mimic what others have said, build your own. That's the nice thing about AR's, the lego of the gun world. Watch a few how to vids on YT and you'll see, with just a few basic specialty tools, you can build whatever you want. The ones I've built range from as little as 5lbs dressed to over 12lbs in multiple different calibers.

I've had pretty good luck with PSA uppers. I have one that rides in my mule and is kind of an all purpose leaned up in the corner in case I need it gun.

I actually shot it on paper last weekend just to confirm zero. I didnt measure the group but would say right at an inch maybe a little under. I shot a coyote at 450 yards with it last winter.

I think this is pretty much what I have but mine has a stainless barrel.

I know my 1:7 likes the 64gr, didn’t like the 55gr , but I was hoping it would. I bought 223 wylde upper not long ago with 1:8, 55gr do pretty good in it but haven’t had much time to play with it.
