New 6mm Advanced Rifle Cartridge

About to pop my cherry on a 6ARC. I do run and gun shit so absolute accuracy and MV is not as important as a package that shoots about MOA and is handy over 3-8 miles.

Pulling down my 14.5” intermediate gas upper and replacing with a Noveske Afghan 14.5, will have a P&W Surefire three prong and if I run a can it’ll be a 7.62 RC2.

Have some Duramags on the way as well as 4 different bullets, from 95gr to 107.

Leaving brass along a course is gonna suck,,, but I think this may be a little advantage in the DMR style R&Gs without going to the weight and recoil of a large frame. We’ll see..


If I like it, will probably wear a 4-16x42 ATACR eventually. Will start with either the G3 1-10 that’s on it now or I’ll move a 3-15 NXS F1 over, though that gonna be choncky with a red dot up top .
Noveskes DDF barrel is lighter than the afghan if that’s important to you. I imagine they’ll go on sale again Labor Day.

Recommend a suppressor for 6.5 CM and 338LM.

I’m going to use it only on my two Sakos TRG for range shooting. I don’t hunt anymore. So yes target fun only.

Then get one of the Dead Air 33 and run with it. Can use it on both and if you wanted to get a shorter cab down the road for the 6.5 you can. Lots for good deals out there now. Silencer Shop has some free stamp deals now too.

Savage AICS DBM choices?

The "Savage" one is a 2 piece made by accurate mag. I'd much prefer a single piece. I think the Atlasworx would be my first choice. The ptg can be had from places like midwayusa and others that have them in stock so you wouldn't have to deal with them directly.

I want to get the barrel threaded, and thought maybe get the inlet ting and barrel threaded at the same time.

Still contemplating a savage 10fp in 308.

A Savage 10FP is what I got to get me started in "precision rifle" shooting a couple of decades ago. They've been around a while.

I bought a 110 Timberland in 6.5 CM a few years ago for my F-I-L. That stupid rifle shoots as well as anything 3x the price, but does have a .2 mil cold bore shift.

They usually shoot decently, and OP has an itch for one. So why not? It is not exactly like you are out a lot when you come to remember how amazingly un-smooth the action is (along with either feeding or extraction woes). But if you get one that runs and shoots, then it is a lot of fun for an extremely good price.
That's why it is going to primarily be my daughters rifle so she can learn long range.. She says she really wants to learn and shoot it with me, but she looses interest in things pretty quickly, so most likely it will wind up being my rifle after she doesn't use it much.

The store wants 950 for it. Then I need to figure out a fairly inexpensive optic for right now. Eventually I would want to put an aics bottom metal and thread the barrel

Why are AR15s so difficult to shoot for the average shooter?

Take airguns for example, you'll get the best of the shot if you use good form and follow through on the shot. Don't change your hold or anything else if possible and you'll be rewarded.

Semi's if shot the same way can shoot great. The fact is you need to finesse the shot because you can't get away with some things like you could with a heavy centerfire bolt gun.

Army M24 Build Thread

A few select M24 systems to be auctioned off tomorrow 8/17/2025 by Rock Island Auctioneers at their Bedford, TX location. One is the incredible M24 Lease Contract rifle (1-of-16) with Remington archive documentation, originally purchased by an Illion, NY employee after being returned from the U.S. Army Fort Riley, Kansas. The other one is an early Remington Collectors Edition 25th Anniversary (1987-2012) version (1-of-less than 2000), with the scarce "G" prefix ser.# that pre-dates the later "RR" prefix recievers. Cant wait to see where the hammer drops
