AR upper in 6.8 SPC

[Joecoastie84]

Leaning towards getting a 6.8 upper for my AR to hunt with. Any suggestions on brands? I'm eye balling the Stag Arms 7H upper right now for $595, but would like to know if there are any better deals out there.

+1 for Stag Arms

I don't know of any better deals. It's got the SPC II chamber with 1 in 11 twist, which you want. The barrel is not threaded, so you can't attach a muzzle device.

If you decided to build one, I would recommend an ARP barrel. Bison and Black Hole Weaponry are supposed to be good as well.

Here is a thread on barrels that I started a while back. http://gulfcoastgunforum.com/showthread.php?13000-Barrel-question-for-all-you-6-8-junkies

I picked up a 16" Rock River SPCII midlength and I like it, it seems pretty accurate and I haven't had any issues, but I only have ~50 rounds through it.

The Stag 7H is as accurate as you can get w a budget 6.8 build, it is just heavy and long, the target crown actually makes it more accurate. If it will be a blind gun, you are good to go, if it is a spot and stalk gun you will want to go lighter. My first 6.8 was the 5H 16" and it was very accurate also. Good luck with your build

Thanks for the input, maybe i will look into getting a shorter lighter version.

Get it. You won't regret the extra umph it delievers over the .223/5.56 round.

Here is my 6yo shooting a doe with mine over Christmas break.

Thanks...it was with my iphone. Turned out better than I thought it would.

Stag, RRA and if PSA has any available.

I like Daniel Defense but it's a little more for their uppers.

Rob, great video, glad I could help fund the 6.8 and put meat on the table. Still enjoy the upper,~200 rounds down rang to date
