Recent transplant from NY here. I'm subscribed to Todd's YouTube channel and found this forum through a search for 6.8 SPC info. Been lookin to get out and hunt some hog and finally settled on 6.8 SPC as the caliber to go with. I was building a .300 blk rifle but kept hearing about distance limitations so I wanted something with a little more oomph. I'll probably still build a .300 blk upper just because I already reload it (have a .300 blk pistol) but the 6.8 will be the main upper for hog.

Anyway, glad to be here!

Thanks,
Jerry

Welcome!
Lots of 6.8 shooters here, as well as a few of us 300 BLK types.

Of course, when I want to really "reach out and touch" a hog I use my .308 … :rolleyes:

Right now, my only .308 is a Remy 700 in an XLR chassis, but I'd like to build an AR10 in the near future.

And thanks for the welcome everyone!

I have an AR-10, but if you already have a 6.8 I would say you're covered for hog hunting. I got the AR-10 because I already had a .308 bolt gun and didn't want to bother with stocking another type of ammo. The AR-10 is noticeably heavy compared to the AR-15 platform, although I mostly use it an night, and therefore I'm not walking all over the place carrying it. During the day, if I'm covering much distance on foot I bring my bolt action.

I'm from Queens originally. Lived in Peekskill for 2 years before moving down here. Yeah, I saw the sale at Primary Arms but I've been building AR's like crazy so I'm going to back off for a little bit. Lol I just finished a mid-level AR (with some high end parts), waiting on a couple parts for a 9mm AR pistol and have some of the parts for the 6.8 build (just building an upper) and I'm going to still build a .300 blk rifle upper since I've been reloading for the pistol.

I was born in Flushing and lived in Forest Hills most of my life. Just got tired of the grind in NYC....and the politics. It's so much nicer down here. Round Rock is just north of Austin so we're about 3 hours away from Houston. How'd your sister do with the hurricane? Everyone ok down there? We're probably going to head down next weekend to see if we can help with clean up. And my name is Jerry.

Nice to meet you Jerry... I feel the same about NYC... I used to love it but the politics of NYC and NYS are disgusting... I have a friend in Austin so I'm hoping to come out that way sometime soon for a hunt... care to join in? My sister is in Houston is safe and thanks for asking... her town was flooded but didn't get the brunt of it... and that's awesome you're going down to help out... Texas will be my home once I retire...
