Hey guys, LGS has a Bushmaster 6.8 SPC spec II 1x11 twist upper new for $475 with a 26 round mag. Would this be a good buy, i am wanting to hunt white tail deer with it out to about 200 yards. Also, which company would have a good 5-10 round mag
 
Re: Thoughts on a bushmaster 6.8 Upper

Assuming it's the M4 style upper, $475 local is a pretty good buy. The cheapest I could find online is ~$450+shipping. 6.8 works extremely well for hunting, if you go over to 6.8forums.com you can see dozens of deer, hogs, coyotes, and other animals the members have shot recently. I like PRI mags the best, and use their 15rd model (blocked to 5) when I hunt. They are on sale this week, but still fairly expensive.
