I wanted one but the price of 6.8 is just to much. If its for just target shooting and not for shooting people then its not worth it. Get a 9mm AR. Cheaper than all hell to shoot.
Darthbauer, I was just about to leap to the 6.8mm SPC's defense and say that it's considered a Major caliber by IPSC ... but it's not. (The 6.8mm loads I saw had power factors between 299 and 322; you need 340 to make Major.) The same goes for 300 Fireball and every other AR-15 caliber I've seen except 458 SOCOM (but I don't have data for 6.5mm Grendel or that new .50-caliber thingamajig).
Sounds like you're right ... until prices come down 6.8mm sounds like an expensive lark. Kind of makes me wish there was a nice medium category for IPSC rifles, but I'm kind of nitpicker! (I suppose 6.8 has hunting potential, but I don't know anything about hunting.)
I know a guy who has a Mini14 in 6.8. He has no complaints about it as a hunting/varmint rifle. He says it is very accurate for him. He is not really a target shooter though.
my 458 was a cannon for sure, but i had probs just getting the rifle to run well. it was plagued by extraction probs, and i had probs with anything but once fired brass.
it seems to be pushing the envelope of the ar-style extraction systems. its a lot of brass to be dragging out of there.
could have been an isolated incedent, but i didnt keep it long enough to really find out.
for all i know, the 450 bushy is no better, but im dying to find out! lol
