[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1630107, member: 101755"] I'm trying to figure out which option is the best, might not be the smartest...but the best for short range hogs at night with a digital NV scope. Here's where I am; I just received three AR rifles with Osprey piston systems. Only one is a chambering I find desirable. They are 300 BlackOut, 6.8 SPC (not the II) and 7.62x39. They all have 16" barrels and carbine length gas systems. Here is what I want; I want to put a can on it when it gets out of jail this September (fingers crossed) but I'm not interested in doing anything subsonic. So that almost knocks the 300BO out right up front. While .270 Winchester is a long time favorite of mine, I'm not big on the 6.8 SPC. With it not being the type 2 chamber, even more so. So is it a big deal breaker for 6.8 SPC because it is the old chamber? 7.62x39 is what I have set up with the night vision right now. I just finished moving parts this past weekend to this rifle so I would have my most preferred parts on it. [ATTACH=full]133107[/ATTACH] Now I'm thinking, should I buy a 16" carbine length GS 6.5 Grendel barrel and scrap either the 300 BlackOut or the 6.8 SPC? I have three 6.5 Grendel's already so brass, bullets, powder and dies are all on hand. I can say the same thing for the 7.62x39. The Night Owl NV has limited range. From what what I've seen so far it would be a bit of a challenging much past 100yds. That said I don't want to go to a pistol length barrel and deal with pistol brace or a SBR. [/QUOTE]
