[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 675957, member: 20355"] I think both have their place, and the location I hunt and the method we hunt...the 6.8 has no business being mentioned. If you want to stay inside 200, deliver energy and stay with shorter, lighter rifle. The 6.8 would be an excellent choice. I personally feel this is a good rifle for those that hunt heavy cover or from a box where shots are going to be of a known or predictable distance. Where and how we hunt, seems to be more in line with "Long Range Hunting" We spot/stalk on the open prairie where shots can range from 50-500 (or much more) on game ranging from pdogs to elk. If those are your only two caliber choices, then I would suggest a 6.5 version of something, weather it be a Grendel, WSSM or other variation. The ballistics and velocity just can't be argued (depending on distance obviously) [/QUOTE]
