I too have been toying around with the purchase of a 300 whisper. I recently sold .257 contender I had JDJ (sskindustries.com)make. I could not get compfortable aligning the scope properly.
Turned around and bought an AR-15. It has a Krieger 20inch stainless barrel and matching gas (block? hope I said that properly) and hoage free floated barrell, and other goodies attached. I bought it in the hopes of having JD convert it to the whisper. I had never shot an AR-15 so I am a true newb here.
It shoots incredible as a 223. My first time out, I put the entire 20 round clip amost center at 100yards using ss109's. Even had a lot of the rounds over lapping each other. All this with a cheap bsa target scope that came with it. Even amazed the guy behind the counter at the range (indoor 100 yard range). He laughed at the bsa as I came in stating your gonna need to change that thing. As I exited the room, he quickly changed his mind after showing off my target. Of course we all know that scope is still gonna go!!!!
Now with this in mind, I am doubting the need to spend the $$ to have JD convert this to the 300. I dont reload my self and always doubted the quality of rounds I had loaded for my contender.
Guess I am looking for "reasons" to spend the $650 to convert my current barrell or the $1100 for JDJ to make me an entire new upper.
Thanks for all oppinions. (Constructive oppinions)
