[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 2085302, member: 111184"] Browning & Winchester have found a niche in the shooting world with the 6.8 Western. Reading the reviews and watching Ron Spomer was enlightening; plus with $$ marketing, they will get some sales. But I won’t be a buyer. With the evolution of better performing bullets, I decided to evolve by rebarreling my 45 year old 700 7mm mag with a Bartlein 1:8.7” gain twist barrel (180gr @ 2900fps) and my Tikka .270 mountain rifle to a 1:8.5” twist (160gr @ 2970fps). I only hunt elk, and those are the only two rifles I need. I also agree with Bob Buliva that “Timing is everything.” Hence, 2021 may not be the right time for such a 6.8 adventure. [/QUOTE]
