Checking in from Calaveras County, in the Land of the 10-rd EBR.
Just got a swinging deal on a 6.8 marked Ameetec lower - so now I guess I'll have to build it. Lately I've gotten tired of "shooting poodles" and looking for a little more kick - was leaning toward a .308 build until this lower came along.
I've always liked the characteristics of 6.8SPC. I'm not much of a long distance guy, but want some punch out to 300-400 yds. so the fit is good. Now I'm here to learn about what I've gotten myself into.
First question: Any LPKs to stay away from in the Ameetec? Any known issues on this lower?
Second question: What is the consensus (or just your opinion <G>) on two-stage vs. Timiney trigger? Again, not for precision shooting but for general mayhem and punching holes. Or is there anotherr choice?
Thanks for this Forum and your wise advice.......
