Anyone have an opinion on it? Interested in an LWRC.

I have looked into it as well as the 6.5 Creedmore. Ammo is still not sheap enough to make me commit. Even with reloading it is expensive.

and for those that dont know what it is? =)

Look it up on the internet. :mrgreen:

 

They are intermediate rifle rounds for the AR15 platform of rifles. More punch than a 223, but not as heavy as a 308.

6.8's are amazing. Had the opportunity to test a military-grade AR (that will go unnamed) that utilized the 6.8. I was expecting a bit more kick, but hardly noticeable (probably because of the system I was using). Hell of a punch it delivers though. I could see (and hope) that the military turns to this in the near future. Though it annoyed the hell out of me when I was in that the Army kept pushing back awarding the new AR manufacturing contract, it will be worth it in the end-- get the best equipment for the boots on the ground.

 

I know Barret currently has a model chambered for it, the M468

But if Bushmaster can chamber it for the Bushmaster ACR/Magpul Masada, that would be perfect. Also, if the FN SCAR was modified, it would be just as good. Given, these are totally from the military perspective. When it comes to civilian use, I really don't have much of an opinion (good or bad ).
