6.8spc would be my favorite. Mine stacks 115gn fusions and 120gn Hornady SSTs together good enough to where I can use either round without any scope adjustments. I do have some 95gn TTSX bullets I want to work up for the it.

You better put a $20 bill in that one to get it to pass

My youngest daughter shot her first deer with Hornady lite 7mm-08 120gn SST. Dropped it where it stood. Not a long shot, not a huge buck but it did the job. I don't have many left for here so she'll be using 120gn fusions soon. I doubt she'll notice much difference or even care if she is...

I had my Marlin 30-30 first then a bolt action 308, not exactly the same situation, but similar. The next one was an AR in 6.8spc I put together. That was a fun project that turned out to be a great mid range hunting rifle.

I spent about that amount for my wife's rifle and have no regrets. It is very accurate, light, weatherproof, durable and fits her perfectly. I feel good knowing it'll last her until way past her hunting days and she'll be able to pass it on down now matter what she does to it. I bought a...

Larue MBT for me. I have a CMC single stage that is nice too but prefer the Larue

I would expect the headspace to be correct in both situations. Doesn't mean it will be, the only way you would know for sure is to check it yourself, however I would run both options with no extra checks

Looks like Criterion 18" rifle length hybrid is in stock https://criterionbarrels.com/products/ar-15/ar-15-hybrid-barrel-rifle-gas-chrome-lined/?v=00dc5da36527 And stainless https://criterionbarrels.com/products/ar-15/ar-15-hybrid-barrel-rifle-gas-stainless/?v=00dc5da36527

Probably won't affect the handguard fitment but most barrel profiles will use a .750 gas block. Just something to think about while you are acquiring parts since it is not a typical thing

Keep in mind that barrel profile has a bigger .875" diameter gas block. Not sure if you noticed or not

I have a couple Wilson Combat barrels and they are awesome. Mine are 6.8spc and just stack rounds at 100. I have been looking at that same barrel or the 20" for one of my ARs. Those are out of stock now, but if you give them a call they will put your order on a waiting list. I regularly use...

Just have to check headspace. You can probably have that done locally by a gunsmith with your bolt when the barrel shows up.

different manufacturer

My latest acquisitions would meet that price range. Remington Seven w/HS Precision stock and a Weatherby Vanguard Badlands. I haven't handled a Tikka but I know they have a great rep. I'm a big fan of composite stocks so I would vote for the Remington. Nice compact, weather proof and light...

I have 3 Criterion barrels and one on the way, both in 223w and 308, probably my favorite AR barrels. I have a couple Wilson Combat barrels that are top notch too. I would have no issues recommending either of those
