[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 986148"] Do you mean a .308 platform? Armalite owns the AR10 which means you want specifically an Armalite based .308. What is your price range? What are your goals for larger game? How far do you plan on shooting? I cannot offer any advice on the 6.8 SPC since I am not too familiar with it. All I know is that the market is currently flooded with .223 (5.56) and .308 (7.62) ARs. I think the .308 maybe a better bet since there is higher ammo and rifle availability. Also, there is TONS of data on the 308 and its performance at extended ranges. It is also a proven game getter. Here is a .308 from DPMS that my buddy owns and its a pretty nice rifle. It feels solid in the hands, fit and finish is nice and its a 1 MOA rifle at 100 yards with a crappy barska scope. The recoil is very manageable with the heavy rifle and its gas operation and the recoil buffer knock it down less then my remington 700 .308. I am not saying this is the industry standard but for around a grand its a nice foot in the door for the .308 based market. Hopefully someone more knowledgable than me will give some solid info on the 6.8SPC. EDIT: A plus for the 6.8 is that I think it still uses standard 5.56 parts meaning same bolt face and upper/lower compatibility. Thats where you will save some money.
