Well, I'm not sure I'd agree with that...

I have been through a passel of AR's and never been quite satisfied with any of them yet. I have a great Spikes Tactical lower that I've built with a Geiselle trigger and other premium parts waiting for an upper but I haven't decided what I want yet. I'm leaning toward an 18" mid length gas system because it's easier on the ejection and for me to shoot an AR well off a bench (meaning, not using a bench and sandbags...field positions) I need some weight up front and the carbines just don't have it. I have a fit holding one still. I don't have that problem with my 16" Mini-14 at all. No question whatsoever that in my hands I can outshoot a sub MOA AR15 offhand with my Mini...it might have 2-3 times the group sizes but but it holds 10 times steadier on target for me. Also, I've seen a LOT of AR's that won't shoot as good as my Mini14...a couple of them considered holy grail'ish AR's, one being a Knights Armament that cost 3X what my Mini cost. It's all just personal opinion and to me an AR or mini14 is a 0-250 yard fighting rifle and you just don't need a sub MOA rifle for that. That's my opinion anyhow.
