Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Any love for the 6 ARC?

Just wondering if any of you guys are hunting a 6 ARC and if so, what you're using in it?

Thinking a 22" barreled bolt action and 95gr LRX would be a great combo with lots of heavier, higher BC offerings if ever wanted.

I know its not a 6mm Creedmoor, but don't think I need it to be either. Interested in hearing experiences, if anyone would like to share!

Never heard of it. Is it something new,or something old and obscure? Hint.

Thanks!...............

Hah, definitely saw a lot of your posts on the cartridge, Mr 'Stick. Appreciate em and learned a lot! Yes, I paid attention. Don't call me names hahaha

Just always keen for more hunting/bullet performance stories. There's nothing like asking those who actually do something when you wanna know more, you very much included.

I have one, just haven’t had time to hunt with it at all or even shot it much…had planned to rebarrel to a heavy barrel but if the light 22” my Howa Mini has shoots ok it may stay as is. I like the concept.

Been Looking At A Cheap Sig Cross With a 24" 6mm ACR Barrel On It..Don't Really Need it..Bit Kinda Want It...

I bought one in April. Still haven't loaded for or shot it.

Been shooting a 22" Howa mini bedded in a Stocky with JO bdl quite a bit over the last few months. It's a nice little package. It will probably be the first carried this Fall and I'll see how the 108's work on flesh. They kill steel well but I can't speak to performance on game yet.

Stocky's carbon fiber? If so, it's the same setup I have. How's yours shoot, accuracy-wise?

I’ve got an 18” Aero upper and the Carbon Mini in 6 ARC. Both of them are hammers with the 108 ELDs and 105 HPBT’s. I can’t think of a bad word to say about the cartridge. It’s a lot of fun to shoot and seems like a lot of value if you’re loading for it or even buying the great factory ammo.

Yes, the sporter stock. I wish now I had gotten one of the vertical grip stocks. The sporter stock isn't bad, I like it, I'd just like to try the VG.

I've not shot enough paper to say exactly on groups sizes. I know I shot a couple when I first mounted the scope and I think it was a bit over an inch...it wasn't stacking them but it was consistent. I can't remember if that was before or after I bedded it. I've done most of my shooting at 300 yards and it's a consistent closed fist sized blob.

I'm about out of factory ammo. I think I picked up 300 rounds to start with. Everything I've shot so far has been the factory eldm. I need to load for it.

Thanks.

I have a savage switchback.

Very accurate.



The 108 eld shoot about the same with Leverevolution

They definitely sound like performers, and a great choice of stock.

Would you guys stick with SRM primers across the board pretty much, or would regular Small Rifle be okay?

Edit: Fotis, great rifle! And you have an uncanny ability to put bullets through the same hole.

Good shooting! I'm happy to see such a tiny group made with a powder that I have on hand.

Flogged on The Baby Carbon Howie pretty hard this morning,on 900yd steel(with 4x glass). Fhuqking thing is a marvel! Hint.

Soooooooo tempted to rock a Barkin' Arken on it,to REALLY see how it does. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.................

Couldn't stand it. Hint................

I believe Stockys has the VG model on sale.
rookie

Is that the lighter one?

I’ve got their bigger bastard on mine and it feels a bit too big.

Nope...Old School Big Bitch. It's not a long term fit,but just a means of reading potential. In the process of making a few changes,in both ammo and mechanics and I can hold this reticle harder and discern more,than it's issued Illuminatti. Bedded it last night and will go shoot shortly. Hint.



The stock was amiss in issued guise,but shooting well depite same. Couldn't stand it. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!................

Yep... I just got shipping notice on a Tikka VG from them, ordered 8/3...should have waited until now to order it! After I use the Tikka VG a bit I may revisit the mini VG.
