Now you gone and done it! Be sure to clean your other rifles real good, give them a generous wipedown of oil, and retire them to the back of the safe.I'm terrible at making decisions sometimes. After a loooong and over-analyzed process I have decided to commit to the 6.8 over other calibers (6x45, .25-45, 6.5 Grendel). I already have rifles chambered in 5.56 and 300BO (not overly impressed with the Blackout). I am placing the order for my barrel and BCG today to start my build and want some advice on barrel length. My main objective will be for whitetail with some coyote hunting mixed in. Is there much of an advantage going with the 18" over the 16"? Also wanted some input on amm choices. I am set up to reload. Thanks
Yeah man I am the type that usually does research until I thoroughly confuse myself and can't make my dang mind up. I was close to going with the 6.8 a while ago but for whatever reason I never followed through. This time I'm set. I've looked at a couple different suppliers for the barrel and other components. Is there anyone you would prefer over others?Now you gone and done it! Be sure to clean your other rifles real good, give them a generous wipedown of oil, and retire them to the back of the safe.
I started with an 18" and later went to a 16". I don't think the extra 2" of length give any appreciable benefit in performance, and is an aesthetic/personal preference choice.

I'm in VA so not a lot of wide open country. We've got some cutovers on the property but most of my stands are over food plots with the longest shot being under 200 yards. Fairly flat with a couple rolling hills. When I predator hunt I usually hit our hayfields and pastures which are a lot more expansive of course.ARP All the way. But? What type of terrain? Wide open prairie? Dense under growth in heavy forest?
I went through the same thing before I decided on the 6.8 and I'm positive I made the right choice. My first (notice I said first?I'm terrible at making decisions sometimes.

) 6.8 is just a 16 inch Stag upper on a Anderson lower, Nothing special but it shoots great and has been trouble free. I'm saving up my pennies for another upper from ARP or Bison and it will be 16 inch as well since I intend to use a suppressor on it and my longest shot is 200 yards.
Depends on what you plan to use your rifle for.Finishing up my order list now and I'm left with the flash hider. Looking for preferences. Looking at the Vortex from ARP to keep everything coming from same place. Thanks.
