What Would You Buy?

Rusty Shackleford · Posted: Sun Jul 25, 2010 1:24 pm Post subject: What Would You Buy?

Without using price a a criteria which one would you buy? I've decided against the 6.5 for now due to the lack of ammunition so the 6.8 SPC is my second option. I want to use this rifle for everything from target shooting to deer hunting. Thanks guy's!

5.56 Options:

http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=2010

http://stores.homestead.com/Laruetactical/Detail.bok?no=100 (18" Barrel: 13.2" Hand Guard)

6.8 Options:

http://www.rainierarms.com/?page=shop/detail&product_id=1849 (This is the one I keep coming back too)

Thats a tough one but if your going to do some hunting Im thinking one of the 6.8s. Out of the 2 6.8s Id go with the 16" from what some of the guys have said about barrel length and proper burn time.

I am a bit confused on that subject. Most of what I have read says you get better ballistic co efficient from the 18". Question

I thought ballistic coefficient had to deal with the bullet only!

Meant too say better ballistics. Referring to barrel length and velocity's.....

Too bad the Noveske doesn't have an 18" barrel on it.

I hope to get a .308 lower from Quentin and build an AR10 next year, will have to sell my M1A though.

I vote for the Rainier.

Thanks Brandon! I am going to have to ponder this a while. I may just stick with the 5.56. The 6.5 is out for sure due to ammo shortage and from what I gather the 6.8 has very limited range compared to the 5.56........ _________________ By now your name and particulars have been fed into every laptop, desktop, mainframe and supermarket scanner that collectively make up the global information conspiracy otherwise known as "THE BEAST."

The 6.8 SPC does have a more limited range than 5.56 However, you can kick a deer in the dirt out to 250m with it. Very effective round, MOST hunting shots in the US are far shorter than that.

Thanks again brother! I'm just going to wait for better ammo availability for the 6.5 Grendel. I want to use Q. D. upper and a 6.5 barrel for my chatterbox build but for now I am going with the Larue Stealth and later when I build the 6.5 I will mate the Stealth upper to a Larue lower....... _________________ By now your name and particulars have been fed into every laptop, desktop, mainframe and supermarket scanner that collectively make up the global information conspiracy otherwise known as "THE BEAST."

If you're looking at spending $1500 on an upper alone, I'd go with Noveske. The quality of the barrel (polygonal rifling is supreme), all high quality stuff, then there ya go. Here's what I'm shooting for; http://noveskerifleworks.com/cgi-bin/imcart/display.cgi?item_id=105v-68-sb&cat=93&page=1&search=&since=&status=

If you are going to try the 6.8, give this place a look. Harrison, who runs it, has done a lot of the research into perfecting the 6.8 round. I have one of his 18" SS uppers, mounted on a Daniels Defence lower. http://www.ar15performance.com/6_8_x_43?b=1 _________________ LMT Defender M4, DD lower/ ARP 6.8SPC upper Remington 870, Remington 700VTR SA XDm .40, XDm 9mm, XD9SC Ruger P89, Ruger Security 6 .357
