I love ARs:

.223---2 of them
6.5 Grendel
6mm WOA
6x45-- Just bought on the classifieds here today
6.8
300 Blackout--- 2 of them
.458 Socom
50 Beowulf
308

And no...None of them are for sale..

Which 3 are your favorites?

.223 (1)
.308 (2)
Would like to add a 6.5 Grendel.

10mm,223[2],6.8spc,6x45,dtech 6DTI,20 tactical, favorite is 6DTI

Grendel.. 6 WOA.. 300 blackout

If I didnt have a 6 WOA I would be all over the 6DTI.. Still may get one a little later on. I have read up on it a bunch and am impressed. I just like the lighter AR15 platform and whatever caliber I can get in it.. Those AR10 or large framed AR's (243..260...308 ETC) are just a whole lot bigger and heavy to me for what I like to do with them. But to each their own. Plus with the 6 WOA and 6DTI, you are creeping up really really close to the 243 performance but still in the AR15 platform..

I have:

Two in 5.56mm
One in 9mm
One in .22LR

.264LBC & 6.5 Grendel

5.56x45
300 BLK
7.62x51
6.5 Creedmoor

Couldn't pick a favorite, they're all great for their purposes. Thinking of a 6.5 Grendel next, I like 6.5's.

5.56
6.8

But would love to add a 308 one day.

22 LR
5.56X45 (RRA Predator Pursuit and 7 1/2" Carbon 15)
5.45X39
6.8 SPC

The Carbon 15 was a gift, long ago. It is not really practical, but I can think of a few instances where it could be employed. It's LOUD and has an impressive flame thrower after dark. It's fun on July 4th, as long as it's shot into a berm. It has been very reliable to this point, but has only had about 400 rounds through it.

The 22 LR gets the most use now days.

They are all lots of fun.

.223. Looking to add a .308 in the future. Absolutely zero interest in anything else unless you count the .50 BMG uppers. I can't stand proprietary cartridges.

Other than 223/5.56, looks like the 6.5/6.8 calibers are the most popular. I figured the 300 Blackout to be the next. Continue on.

5.56

One of my favorite things about the AR is the "cheap to shoot" factor. I owned a 6.5 Grendel for awhile. It was a fantastic cartridge and one of the neatest AR's I've ever owned but it was expensive to shoot and I lost interest quickly.

Terry

5.56, .300 BO, and .308

Probably either a 6.8 or a .204 next

338 Federal

a lot of 223s. a 22lr with Krieger tube. 7.62x39, 6mm woa, 50 beowulf. Soon to add a 300 whisper.

Over the years we did so much AR competition shooting that I have more than my share of 223 uppers for the wife and I. Main guns. Speciality guns. Backup guns. Backups to the backups. New ones set up so when the barrels go TU we don't have down time etc....

Had we not been competitiors, I suspect I'd have one of about every caliber by now if not more.. grins.
