Wondering about rifles used in typical CMP/HighPower competitions. When they say AR-15 service rifles, just how specific is that in terms of make, brand, model, caliber?
I have a BushMaster Shorty A2 that's pretty stock, but has a welded/pinned muzzle brake (which will be loud for neighbors) and fixed A1 stock, as I bring it into MA. That's my only AR-15. I have other 223/556 rifles all on SIG556 platform - one set up with a EOTech XPS3-4 and 3x-Magnifier and one set up with a Leupold 3-9x40 scope. Also a SIG556R in 762x39 with a 3x-ACOG and a REM700 in 308 with scope set up for long range shooting.
None excellent choices as AR-15 service rifles for competition, I might guess.
