I'd get the X-Treme upper when they are available.

New to 6.8 SPC
Can anyone give me some good reliable complete 6.8 manufacturers and possible prices. I am a Deputy Sheriff and am looking for a 6.8 that I can patrol with and also take out during recreational hunting of deer and hogs and some plinking, of course. I would like to stay with a 16" barrel and a 1in12 twist per the recommendations that it is the most accurate for the spin of the bullet. Any input is greatly appreciated.

You want the improved SPC II chamber or DMR chamber and 1:11 or 1:12 twist.
The Xtreme upper would be an outstanding choice. $599 complete!! You just pin it to a lower of your choice. It's easy to assemble a lower, or buy a complete lower from LMT, Stag (CMT), RRA, Sabre Defense, Bushmaster, Armalite, etc. for $300-$500 depending on stock options and trigger choice.
Noveske makes a great upper as well.
If you have to buy a complete rifle, turnkey, the newer production Stag 6.8 rifles have SPC II chambers, CL 1:11 twist barrels, but make sure you get one of the new ones with the barrel marked 1:11. If you have the budget and want a piston upper then LWRC would fit the bill. RCrandall (LE Officer) owns a few of them and recommends them highly. Paulosantos who chimed in above is a LE professional as well.

I wonder why Rock River builds their mid length rifles with the 1/10 twist barrels. I noticed on their site that they still have a 1MOA group. How accurate is that statement?
Their barrels are generally very accurate.rangertrace said:I wonder why Rock River builds their mid length rifles with the 1/10 twist barrels. I noticed on their site that they still have a 1MOA group. How accurate is that statement?
RRA has a 1:11 barrel project underway. The current market situation has delayed the 1:11 barrels but they are coming.rangertrace said:I wonder why Rock River builds their mid length rifles with the 1/10 twist barrels.

RRA knows their 1:10, SPC II Chrome Moly barrels will handle the SSA combat loads so they're good to go with them until the 1:11 barrels come to market.
