Anyone have any experience with the new Cobalt SPR Elites with Proof 18" or 22" barrels? I have seen X-Rings videos on their development but looking for more info. I think the KGM R6 suppressor would pair nicely with this. Between this and the Geissele for me...

I have several Geissele rifles and they are all extremely accurate. Even for duty rifles. I will definitely be picking up a Geissele 6 ARC when they hit the stores.
That being said. I have seen some people talk very highly of the Cobalt Kinetics, like the X-Ring.

Agree, I also own a Geissele rifle and it shoots great. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to shoot their 6 ARC, 6.5 CM, and PDW rifles in January. Sold me on the 6 ARC cartridge. If I could get the Geissele with a CF Proof barrel it would be easy for me.
I would love to see Geissele offer their ARC rifle with their Mk18 rail (full ARCA) and with the B5 precision stock in their 20" offering .

Updated thread title.
Cobalt SPR Elite is available now, Geissele supposedly next month but I know others have or are shooting them.

Two unique features of the Geissele rifle are, it uses a reinforced upper receiver and also a 6mm ARC specific barrel extension for better feeding with no bullet tip damage. Their mags are also designed and tweaked for the 6mm ARC cartridge.
Their bolts are tougher, too (Forged). And I believe I heard the lowers present the magazines to the upper slightly different to help with the ARC's larger body dia. Can't say definitively what it's all "worth", but they're made right. One of the first "fancy" AR's I've been a little excited about for features/build quality-- I usually build my own or run cheap PSA beaters.
I see Hodge has built a few 6 ARC's too, but those are unobtainium. Would be interested to here how he's building them though...
I was not referring to a private hands rifle.
I’ll tell what’s more interesting and relevant than the guy who pumps out 5 civilians rifles a year out of his basement in TX: https://www.rsrgroup.com/product/SOLGWM4-89-MATCH-6ARC
you do realize the rail that rifle uses has a shamrock on it and Mike is good friends with Jim...right?
Theyre C405-T6 uppers, id suspect that the thicker walls and stronger aluminum would play a part in not only barrel harmonics with a heavy 6mm arc barrel (18 inch) with a suppressor, but also bolt life.
They'll eventually be 30% off

i just bought one with the 22" barrel i haven't even shot it yet. i will make sure i post some pictures and groups.
