It’s going to be way more accurate than your typical AR. Varmint shooters will typically use lighter bullets, longer barrels and a slower barrel twist rate.

You can trick-out an AR to be a pretty good varmint shooter, usually with a 20 inch or longer stainless barrel with a 1:9 or 1:8 twist.

The one I’m looking at has a 1:10 barrel twist for shooting lighter weight bullets (higher velocity).

I guess I don’t understand the concept of barrel twist vs. velocity in long guns.

Is a a 1:20 twist more accurate vs. 1:10? Wouldn’t that need much more powder?

I only bought the AR and SCAR because 0bama was going to take that right away from me.

Give me a shotgun and I can knock the eye out of a burglar at 10 feet...if my contacts are in.

But I used to have my way with dove and ducks though.
