My 6mm Arc is a 22" bolt action. Been my favored deer rifle for 3 years now. I hunt with nothing but reloads.

B4 the 6mm ARC bolt gun, the 6.5 Grendel was my favorite deer rifle.

6 ARC is a fun toy, coyotes hate it. Won't be replacing any of my .223's anytime soon, but it's nice to have options and try new things, I say go for it.

So, more likely an original chamber in 6mm or a rechamber from 6 ARC to 6/6.8 SPC.

Yep. I know better. Didn't read it thoroughly.

@erickg,

Looks very much like my 6 ARC hunting set up.

16" or 18" barrel? Mine is a 16" and its light and handy.

I also have competition 22" Proof barrel with a Sgt of Arms integrated ARCA rail handguard. It's a hammer, but a bit much for walking around with.

I'm currently running an 18 inch Wilson Combat barrel. Like yours, it's light and handy.
