Who’s got a 6 arc?

[mtmuley]

Lots of scrolling and it does seem to be the GT is maybe a more attractive route.

Good luck navigating the perils of choosing a 6mm cartridge. It's hard. mtmuley

Love my 6mm arc, 16";(welded brake) lightweight compact ar that I carry in my pack at times. This exactly duplicates factory load at 2580 in my rifle using starline brass.

I have a Kimber Montana .243 that’s getting rebarreled to a 7 twist 6GT this winter. Looking forward to it.

For those running the 6 ARC out of ARs (@ccc23454 and @elkfanatic and any others), what uppers are you using? Did you buy complete uppers or put together your own? Asking cause a 6 ARC upper is next on my list...the kids need a low recoil deer round.

I bought a complete upper from bear creek arsenal. Mostly just to spite my brother who's a gun snob and says bca is not just bottom of the barrel quality, but digging out from under the barrel.LOL. It's my third upper from them and all three are accurate,t, no malfunctions, and go bang every time. Got one in 450 bushmaster, one in 350 legend ,and the 6 arc.If I need another upper I wouldn't hesitate to go bca. Granted they don't run as smooth as a $1000 gun but I don't need em to for what they're used for.

Mine is a cmmg upper. Wanted build my own but as I looked for parts availability and costs dictated just buy upper on sale, couldn't be happier with it! If I was going surpressed I will build my own.

Why would I want a dasher? Is there good brass available?

I appreciate all the other options but nobody yet is telling me what’s the downside of 6 arc.

There’s a zero chance for me to buy a howa.

this is why you want a dasher

 

[JT88]

And yes, Alpha brass is top notch

Meh, get a 6.5 grendel with 125gr partitions and call it a day.

Now I’m debating 6creed vs 6gT but no hurry. I want to make sure I pick an action/stock that I’ve looked and and handled a bit before deciding and I’m sure there will be long waiting once I choose/order.

If you want to be less gay/hipster you could do the 6xc

I didn’t. I already mentioned I love my 6 arc pistol and howa mini rifle. Was just joking about your comment. I went with the arc because guns and ammo were cheap. Zero research went into my decision on those 2. Thought the case looked cool and bought the rifle. I really do want the 240 Weatherby but $ for a lefty. And really heavy for a fast twist. Not many options for me. But I do have two 300 wsm I picked up cheap and one might become a 6 um
