Put together a 2nd 6.8 upper since I mounted thermal on my original upper.

Wanted something a a little different so went with a non reciprocating side charger. Barrel is a Bison with their Bison chamber which spilts the difference in freebore between Spec2 and SAAMI. It's 4 groove 1/11 twist. Went with OdinWorks adjustable gas block. Muzzle device is a cherry bomb for my Q suppressor. I have a whistle tip on it for when It's not suppressed.

Lower is POF.

It was hot as balls yesterday but sighted it in and adjusted the gas. Shot 3/4" at 100 with S&B 110 PTS ammo. Shot a little worse with PPU 115 HPs. I doubt I will reload for it. I have a lot of the S&B ammo.

Now, I can be super tactical and and just switch uppers for night or day hog hunting. This configuration is like a Swiss Army knife. Good for a lot of things like homestead defender, hog/coyote patrol, deer hunting, etc... Just one to grab for going to cabin.

I may have a 6.8 compulsion. I have a Ruger 77 and Ruger Mini 14 in 6.8 as well.

Nice!

I’ve been seeing 6.8 on the shelves more and more recently

Great looking rifle !! Hog killa

awesome.. love my 6.8s

Very nice setup. I am still lugging around the AR10 - 12.5lbs with Trail xp50. I've heard such great things about the 6.8 and the weight is unbelievable. I think my only hesitation is not fulling understanding or appreciating the stopping power. The impact of the 308 is undeniable but I just don't have the experience with the 6.8.

Again - very nice setup. Looks like you are right down the street from me - good to see another Eagle!

Nothing wrong with a little 6.8 love!

I'm a 308 guy as well. Love it. Main hunting rifle is a Tikka CTR 308.

I also love my 6.8 but I do not love how hard it is to find ammo and the prices recently. Ive got about 5 or 600 rounds of good quality hunting ammo so I am good for awhile. I really need to start reloading soon. I have at least 300 to 400 pieces of once fired brass in almost all of my calibers. I have been saving them up for the day. It just seems like a lot of expense and a lot of time to get started and one thing I dont have is a lot of time.

My favorite hill country deer rifle. Here's my 68...

I really like my 6.8 and don’t think I’ll ever part with it.

I am a fan of the 6.8 as well,

Pertnear..what is the make and model of that rifle that you posted a picture of?

We be found it’s easier to just switch optics. I always carry a backpack to the stand, so I just toss in whatever optic I’m not using at the time (day scope/thermal).

I believe that is a Ruger No1

It is a Ruger #3 that I had rebarreled & then fitted with Ruger #1 forend & butt. The #1 stocks fit without any alteration. These rifles rigged this way are often referred to as Ruger #2's.

The barrel is a Shilen 22" 1/10 twist & the chamber is a standard spec II. Shoots tiny groups & without a magazine you can seat bullets long. I've been shooting 115 gr & 130 gr Gold Dots. With AR-Comp powder the 130's are launching at 2,600+ fps.

It's a beauty. Is that a 20" barrel?

The rifle's total length is 38" with a 22" barrel. Handiest rifle ever to carry or use out of a deer blind.

That is awesome. I have a Ruger M77 6.8 SPC 2. It has a 16.5" McGowan 1-10 twist threaded barrel. I can get 2550 fps with 130s and AA2200. The mag lets me load them to 2.4 COL. It's 42" overall with a suppressor. Recoils like an air rifle. I'll be hunting with it this season.

Nice gun

What kind of velocities are you getting with the 110’s

Out of the bolt, 2700 fps with 110 TSX or 110 Accubonds. I usually just shoot factory out of the AR and Mini 14.

Bolt pic is below. I always shoot it suppressed.
