Our Assessment: This Les Baer Custom Ultimate AR .223 Super Match Custom represents a no-compromise approach to precision AR-15 competition rifles, built during the period when Les Baer Custom was setting the standard for national match and benchrest accuracy. Every element of this rifle reflects that singular focus, from the massive 30 inch stainless 416R bull barrel to the tightly fitted receivers and match-grade internal components. The use of European-style competition sights, including the Anschutz AHG front sight and Centra rear sight with iris and anti-glare tube, clearly positions this rifle within the world of serious across-the-course and precision target shooting rather than general-purpose AR use.
This example remains in excellent overall condition, retaining the vast majority of its original Baer Coat finish with only light signs of careful handling. The bright, sharp bore, Geissele High Speed National Match trigger, and LBC Ultimate Match carrier with chromed bolt and extractor further reinforce its purpose-built pedigree. The Competition Machine adjustable stock system and included Gehmann and Anschutz sight accessories complete a fully realized competition package. Offered with a hard case and additional components, this Ultimate AR Super Match stands as a highly refined custom rifle that reflects the peak of Les Baer’s precision-driven AR craftsmanship.
