NWFL newbie. Primarily hunt Hogs, have a lease and kill 100 or so a year. Looking at the 6.8 on an AR platform, need a place to mount my kill lights, scope and laser, 40-200yds. Heard great things on TX Boars about the caliber and will either buy or build what I want, am hear to learn and get advice. What I know so far is I want a 16" barrel, stainless or coated, med to heavy barrel, 1:11 twist free floating barrel. need accuracy, Thanks guys!

I'm over in PCola. I'd be happy to let you test drive my 6.8. It's exactly what you describe - 16" stainless, med contour, mid gas, free float tube, 1-4X Accupoint. I built mine with parts from White Oak a couple years ago and I've been happy with it.

Frank, welcome. Tyee Dave and I both frequent these forums. You'll find that the folks who frequent this site are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. See ya back over at Pensacola Fishing Forums.
Site sponsors make the best 6.8s available. Check out ARP, Wilson and Bison. I went with the ARP.

Welcome to the site! This is definitely the most informative forum I've found for both the 6.8 and any other gun stuff you may have questions about!

Good to see you over here Frank. I'd be glad to let you try out my 6.8 on some porkers. Also if your lease gets any openings, let me know. The lease I'm on right now must be in a pig free zone which makes it kind of dull.....
