[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 409230, member: 19896"] Decent. It's still supersonic out there. Yes, but it's in a 16" AR with a 1x Aimpoint. Not really built for long range. :rolleyes: As inherently accurate at any round can be. I love my 6.8 AR. However, 6.8 was developed with one major limitation: Fit in a 5.56 AR-15/M-4 magazine. That limits the OAL, which limits bullet length/weight and/or powder capacity, which limits BC. All that to say you're limited to max ~115gr .277 bullets without great BCs. There's no brick wall or anything that'll stop the bullet at X yards, but I think there are better options out there if you are not limiting yourself to AR magwell length. If you want one, by all means, go for it. But don't choose it because it's the best choice in a Rem 700. [/QUOTE]
