    I hear less and less from the 6.5 community and WAY more from the .300 community now... Hell, I hope to own both someday as both are just fine options.

    6.5 vs. 6.8 is beaten to death; personally, I chose 6.8 and it's WAY far from nearing death and one of the more popular "alternate" options/flying off the shelves. "Cheap" ammo and different mags are an issue but it's well-proven death on hogs/mid-size game from the TX-gang and one hell of an upgrade to even the best reloads of 5.56/.223... The Barnes 95 TTSX projectile is near perfection but there are plenty of options.

    Can't we all just get along? (Don't make me bust out the 458 SOCOM...)

    It may have been beaten to death for you, but I'm trying to learn here in order to make a good decision on what to spend my limited dollars on. There are people here with personal information and accounts that can aid me in that decision. Hence, the reason I started this post.
    “Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    I am going back to thinking of doing my 6.8 upper again as well. Might as well have one of everything right?

    I think SPC II is 1/11 twist and there is some differences in the chamber from SPC I

    I am not a hunter, so I am looking at all around rifle I can use in case I needed to, so a 16" barrel 1/11 with a mid length gas system.
    "The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
