Ok,
AR bug bit me again (was 2 year hiatus). I already completed a nice 16" CAR build and am already looking to do another, but want to deviate from the .223 /5.56 realm
I am looking at a Bushmaster flat top upper with the 20" barrel and rifle length free floated handguard in .450 bushmaster $550 price tag
of
a yankee hill machine 16" upper (flat top) with free floated carbine length handguard and includes flip up front and rear sights in 6.8 rem spc $676 price tag
I reload so that will save cash for either round. the lower will be an aeroprecision with an A2 stock. I am going to use this for plinking and maybe deer or varmints. either upper would sport an aimpoint or eotech as primary optic.
the bushy has the ability to take down just about anything on the continent at under 200 yards, but brass looks to be expensive
the YHM 6.8 upper has the BUIS already there which is a $100-140 savings and the 6.8 round seems to be cheaper to reload and also to buy factory ammo for (and have read good things on the 6.8 forum)... but what if a darn grizzly or bigfoot wanders my way?? (if the 6.8 was a midlength or rifle length it would be a dead done deal!)
your input please
