6.8 good deal. I've wanted one myself for last year or so. Have seen a few on Ak list. Let us know the comparison to 223.

Wow....... That is a real beauty JLA! I wish I had your luck.......having such a deal walk right in.


Let me know if you need someone to do the range report for you. Maybe you can let me try out your .460 while I'm there.





(Now I've got to go look up 6.8spc as I've never heard of it. )

I do love my DPMS... But this 6.8 is growing on me. Lots more knockdown than the .223 for the same amount of recoil... Very efficient round IMO...

SR you can come out my way and shoot up my range with the sixeight and the hogslayer any time you want. Then we'll sit around the smoker drinking budweizers and making .308s out of 8 mausers BTW, I didnt forget about your brass, still rounding it up. i only found about 20 pcs. I know I got like a hundred more somewhere...
