Have been watching for a 6.8 SPC Bolt rifle knowing that there are some really nice ones out there by Remington and Savage from back in the day, probably many more options and saw this sell for 1700.00!

Remington 700 Stainless 6.8 Rem Spc rare first production SS varmint HS - Bolt Action Rifles at GunBroker.com : 1061025061

I know they come up with a new caliber/cartridge monthly and that the 6.8 SPC, while still well supported by ammo manufacturers and AR-Platform riflemakers, has been discontinued across the board in Bolt Action rifles but there is a demand out there.

As far as I know, Savage never made a bolt action in 6.8 SPC. However, they have/do make a MSR in 6.8SPC. If Savage made the MSR barrel, they already have all the tooling for complete rifles.

You may be right. I saw this once: ARMSLIST - For Sale: 6.8 SPC Bolt

I imagine it could be a re-barrel special. In any case, I would guess that 6.8 could sell as well as 6.5G and 6ARC. They all put nearly the same energy down as the limiting factor is OAL, no one is really shooting these rifles at 800 yards and there is nothing but good things to say about .277 bullet performance plus the fact that 6.8 SPC LOVES 16" barrels and the others, well....
