Title: Who is shooting a 6.8 SPC???
Post by: Austrian Hunter on July 03, 2012, 09:09:31 AM: I would like to know what is your long range with this caliber? 200-300-400 yds? What are your groups? Did you ever hunt with your 6.8 SPC? If so did you make a kill? What scope did you put on it? Anything helps, I am in the process of making my military style AR to the perfect hunting AR. Any ideas?? Thanks!

I didn't shoot any great distances with it. My scope wasn't in, so I just basically did some plinking with it. If you haven't found it yet, check out http://68forums.com/forums/forum.php?s=e71310a9a5f759e556459d8f611eed0b (http://68forums.com/forums/forum.php?s=e71310a9a5f759e556459d8f611eed0b) for lots of info on the cartridge.

There is a hunting section there. It's very popular with the hog hunters, and some deer hunters. I hope to take a whitetail with it this fall...

Grouping very nicely off the paper right and low at 25 yards with my scope maxed out to the left. :yike: When I look at the scope and rifle from above the butt, it seems I can actually see that they aren't aligned. Might be the Nikon P-series mounts. Seems that when I tighten them down to the rail, they twist a bit. Gonna take it back, and try a Burris PEPR mount.
