First 6.8!!!

[trlcavscout]

Picked up a 6.8 spc. Gonna try it out for my new hunting rig. Need to find a new barrel in 18" or longer though, mine is 16".

Congrats! I'm in the process of finishing my first 6.8SPC build. I'm also researching barrels as I've done a bit of homework and seems I have more questions now than I did when I started. Anyway, here is the 18" barrel I'm looking at from Noveske Rifleworks:

MidwayUSA carries this barrel on their website and you can even get it with a headspaced bolt from them for a little extra. If you are thinking about going with a suppressed 6.8, I would highly recommend getting this barrel directly from Noveske with the switchblock option as it will allow you to adjust gas pressure.

Cheers!

I have the same Noveske barrel in 6.8, and I've shot it suppressed (Surefire FA68k). The barrel is very accurate. 120gr Sierra Pro Hunters (Silver State Armory), and my own 85gr Barnes TSX hand loads consistently shoot under a half inch at 100 yards.

Try looking here for 6.8 SPC:

It's a Colorado shop and they are quite knowledgeable.

I got a 6.8 20 Hbar inch barrel and bolt from a rockriver gun that was converted to 223.

So I rounded up the parts I had on hand to build a 6.8 shooter.
it;s heavy and long but that's fine for now.
A1 upper, A2 everything else and a cheap scope.

Any body in the Fort Collins area?
I have a membership in the owl canyon range if anybody wants to meet there.
I like the 6.8 as a Coyote to deer gun so in a bit I need to find a place to hunt song dogs
