Im wanting a 18 upper but a 12.5-13.5 upper with my SBRd lower would be sweet too!
If I get one that's where it will live on my sbr'd six8 setup with modifiyed mags I'm useing now.
Personally after looking at all the 20, 22 and 24 inch data I could find. A long barreled 6mm ARC just isn't worth the squeese for me. For what I do with my rifles the small I'm problem in drop and drift isn't worth the extra price over my CZ grendel.
But a 12 inch slinging some 80 to 90 grain copper are bonded bullets would be a fun time next to my 12 inch grendel doing the same thing.
