118. Thanks for the vote of confidence
I don't like being the only one to point out that the AR is a highly inherently accurate rifle platform and the .223 is certainly accurate enough for varmint work, meaning if it can hit a target smaller than a human head at several hundred yards it is definitely a match for your everyday medium-less range bolt rifle. It is only "inaccurate" or "short-ranged" compared to the .338/.300 Mag/.416/.50 caliber rifles designed specifically for 1200-2000 yard engagements, and those are not usually well suited to combat at a more realistic range.
