I am not in the AR circle. I find the 6.8 SPC a marvelous round to fire from my M700 Remington with 26 ” bbl. It matches thye accuracy of the .223 that I also shoot. It may not catch on. It may not be around forever. But I sure do love shooting it.

After hitting the 300-yard gong four-for-four with it and then you getting that upper after the Rendezvous – it really piqued my interest in that round.
The Ruger buy-in with their new Mini-14 Ranch-rifle in 6.8 is a fairly solid indicator that it will last. The fight is on with 6.5 Grendel now and whether it can rely on the shoulders (or legs) of the 6.5 PPC (its originator) to get further traction.

Weer’d , I’d love one of those myself, but it’s the whole “saving a LOT of pennies” thing that kills me.

I kind of was thinking that if I’m going to go into the EBR thing half assed, the AR-15 platform would at least give me the opportunity to upgrade over time. I simply do not like .223 / 5.56mm. I’m utilitarian and want something with good stopping power. I could go the commie route, but it just feels wrong.

I’m saving my pennies for a Springer SOCOM 16. 7.62X51 is the only way to fly in an EBR IMHO

If the Big Brown Truck of Happiness ever shows up with my 6.8…

Ordered my upper in December, told it would be a wait.

Still waiting.

Getting antsy in the pantsy.

Ruger just introduced a new ranch rifle in 6.8
I think it will be around awhile

Since I'm already reloading, it wouldn't be that big of a deal ('cept I'm only set up to reload pistol and not rifle). However, newer events have for all intents and purposes, squashed my dreams.
