Hey guys, im getting ready to purchase a 16'' middy upper to be used for competition. Accuracy is a major priority. Ive got it narrowed down to 3 that I like but im always open to suggestions. The optic that will be used on this upper is a Leupold 1.5-5x20mm in a Larue mount. Being that im from Oregon im leaning towards a Noveske but Id still like to hear what you guys think. Thanks.

Noveske. No doubt. Though I'd probably go with a VTAC fore end, and good brake.

Noveske VTAC 16" Upper. Brake is an option for later, but that sounds like exactly what you're after.

Why the VTAC tube?

Especially with the TROY/VTAC unit, it's very light weight, can be used to mount a VFG, Light, Bipod if necessary, comes with QD sling mount, but for competition still works bare.
At the price of those, they're really hard to beat.
