    Question 6.8 upper from model 1 sales

    I am seeing that this companies uppers in the 6.8 spc are very reasonable price but I am questioning their barrel twist rate which is 1in 9.5. they have different barrel lengths as well. I was thinking about 16" or 18".

    I will be hunting Antelope and coyotes with this gun...(thats my plan anyway)

    Have any of you bought from this company? What are your thoughts for twist rate and barrel lengths?

    Thank you for reply's

    I guess no one has bought from this company. Lots of help from the lookers.

    I bought a A1 kit from them several years ago to build a rifle for my father-in-law. Back then, poor customer service. I had an issue with the front sight being of poor quality and wanted a replacement and it took nearly a day to get someone on the phone and then they were rude. In the end, I was able to return the barrel and get a new one with a proper front sight, but it wasn't an easy transaction.

    I can't say anything about the company, but 10.25 with 5R polygonal rifling is a more appropriate twist rate for the 6.8. It can stabilize anything from 85gr up to 125 gr.
