Agree 100%. Get there, play with it, learn the system and then upgrade.Just my 2 cents...
You can easily build your own AR, but if you haven’t really been around them or don’t have a buddy that has been built one, I would just buy a factory rifle and call it good.
I think you meant 6.8 SPC.Agree 100%. Get there, play with it, learn the system and then upgrade.
There is a plethora of options out there. Last time I looked there was over 50 calibers available in the AR platform. Most wildcats that you've never heard of.
Stick with something you can get ammo for readily without reloading like the .223, 7.62X39, 6.5 Grendel or 6.5 SPC in short action.
If your just starting you need to know (if you don't already, and if you do my apologies) the difference in the AR platform in short action and long action.
The calibers I mentioned above are short action and fit the AR-15 platform. If you want to go to .308, 22-250, .243, 30-06, etc, you need to go to the AR-10 platform. It's much heavier and it should be to be capable of shooting the bigger cartridges.
I think you meant 6.8 SPC.
When I had access to land to hunt on I began researching different calibers for the AR platform and had pretty much decided to go with the 6.8 SPC for deer, hogs, and the occasional coyote.
I no longer have access to that land so I never went ahead and got an AR specifically for hunting.

He has that fancy 243 WSSM at 4000 fps so he forgets about us little people and our slow rounds.
He has TWO of those damn guns....He has that fancy 243 WSSM at 4000 fps so he forgets about us little people and our slow rounds.
Yotes and hogs are very different targets engaged at generally very different distances and locations, at least in my neck of the woods. I have shot many of each with my .223/5.56 AR platforms, iron sights, scope and holographic. Everyone has a different take on things, but I have gravitated to a Windham 7.62x39 AR platform with a Nikon Buckmaster scope and really love it for hogs and yotes. You will hear said that each species requires a dedicated gun or caliber or tht 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 is the ticket and that may very well be, but for me my little Windham is kinda like the 30-30 of old. Just a good all around gun down in the bottoms and around the pastures.

You can possibly build 2 for that.I’d like to stay around 700-800 ish in the fun only
Bassin is correct, you can put a complete basic AR together for 350 right now.You can possibly build 2 for that.
