Who’s got a 6 arc?

Kurt,

Look at the 6GT, if you're going to have a rifle built.

Better brass options, a little more speed.

I'd also check out the new 120gr Berger, and 120gr Atip, now available. You'll want a 1-7.2" twist if you go that route.

Only if you're hoping to find an action in stock, vs ordering and waiting for them to build it. You could still find a ARC bolt face action somewhere on the shelf, it's just a little less likely.

I was thinking its probably a non-issue with a zermat or something with swapable bolt faces. Paying money to open up a 223 bolt or bush a standard bolt face is another negative if wanting to use an existing action. Resale might not be as strong. All relatively minor issues.

I have two: a Tikka with Preferred barrel and Zermatt TL3 with Proof. It’s a fun round.

Shameless plug - I’m listing my Tikka 6 ARC for sale. PM if interested and I’ll send the details.

EDIT- tikka 6 ARC is sold

My favorite gun to shoot right now is a cva pistol with 14” barrel 6 arc shooting 103 gr eldx at 2430 fps. Have not shot any animals yet. Been debating picking up a preferred barrels Kelby atlas barreled action in 6 arc. Ammo is reasonable for factory and easier on barrels if you shoot it a bunch.

Are you reloading any for the CVA?

I am not yet. I’m sure I will in the future though. I know out of my tc reloads were a lot better in the 45/70.

I have 2 Howa mini 20” 6arcs. Originally bought the first for my daughters. Cut the LOP down and they love it. Ended up with another for my wife. Put hers in a Stockys stock. One gun is shooting the 95 TMK’s and the other is shooting 108 ELDM’s. They killed a handful of deer last year with the 108’s. Both guns were used in a charity youth hunt this past weekend. The kids there really enjoyed shooting them at the range.

A modest load of varget/h4895 or similar in a BR based case to get the same performance sounds more desirable than having to push on it.

Are Varget or 4895 go-to powders for 6 dasher or creed with heavier bullets? And not the arc?

That might be a decision changer. I’ve got a ton of target and use that in both my 7-08 and .223.

I can’t imagine a 6crees has much recoil or fries barrels that quickly- but maybe it does compared to the dasher?
