I have a Remington 700 Police in 6.8mm Rem Spc that I purchased over
the winter. I have fired about 55 rounds through it so far. It's built (by Remington) on an HS Precision kevlar stock with a full length aluminum bedding block, it has a 5 round internal magazine (though I put a drop in single shot try in it), the trigger is quite crisp, though maybe 1/2 lb heavier than I'd like (I'm guessing it's about 3.5 lbs, but I haven't weighed it). It's finished in any color you like, as long as it's black. It's a great rifle, but I'm trying to thin down some of my collection. I always wanted a 700P, and I bought one. It's a great plinking rifle and it makes recoil very similar to a .223 AR15. My girlfriend shot it and didn't find it to be objectionable (and she didn't like the recoil of my lightweight AR15 for reference). It's a nice rifle that you can shoot all day. I put Weaver 2 piece bases on it and I'll leave those with the rifle. You'll need a standard set of scope rings to fit the objective of your scope. I also have the remains of 100 rounds of ammo (about 45 left) in US Armory brass loaded with Sierra Matchkings and I have 100 pieces of new Remington brass, still sealed in the bags as well as 100 Sierra matchkings still sealed in the box and a set of Hornady dies, used for 100 rounds. I have the box and papers from Remington. $700 plus freight for the rifle $130 for extra brass, dies and ammo plus freight OBO I have a new in the box Bushmaster AR15. It's a 16" with 6 position stock, chrome lined barrel, flash suppressor, bayonette lug, notched barrel for grenade launcher, detachable carry handle (handle is included), 600 yard sights, hard case, sling and a 30 round mag. My dealer lost the test target (or it didn't come with one). I purchased this new (on sale) from Gander Mountain when supplies were really tight (and I wasn't sure what I wanted in an AR, so I bought a few of them). I paid $1160-ish for it ($1099.99 + tax). I've been debating if I want to sell it, but if someone wants it for the sale price I paid, I'll sell. I'm not looking for a profit, just to break even on it. I have never loaded or fired this rifle. I haven't even run a patch through it. It's as it came out of the case when I brought it home. I also have two new 10 round factory Sig Sauer magazines for a Sig Sauer P229 in 9mm. I will never use these, so if someone needs spares or lives in a 10 round limited state, this might be for you. Midwayusa shows factory 10 rounders for $34.99 plus freight. I have a brand new set of Kim Ahrends "slim" 1911 grips. These are a grey color (with light and darker character stripes showing in the finish, Ahrends calls them "silver/black laminate). They come with slimline grip bushings and screws. I purchased them for one of my pistols and couldn't get my grip bushings out to install the slimline ones. So, they are new in the box. Kim Ahrends indicated that they made the Wilson Combat wood grip panels. These are very similar to the grey ones without the horizontal band in the center and there is no medallion. They just have vertical grooves and are very nicely finished. I loved these grips, but I've not used them yet and I see no additional 1911's in my future. I paid $60 + freight I have a Bianchi thumbstrap holster for a 1911. This has an open muzzle and will fit any length barrel. I carried a 3" and a full sized 5" 1911 in it. It's well "broken in", but quite functional. It's a belt slide style holster and fits up to a 1.5" wide belt. I have a Rafter S Gunleather holster from my Kimber Ultra Carry II. It's for a 3" 1911 and is also black leather and a belt slide design. It's in good, to very good condition (lightly used?). I did carry it for something less than a year, but it's not been abused. $45 shipped OBO I have a Rafter S Gunleather single mag pouch (clips on your belt) for a 1911. I carried this for less than a year and it too is in pretty good condition. $25 shipped OBO I have a Rafter S Gunleather holster for a Sig 229 without the picatinny rail. It's a little to upright for me for CCW use. I carried it exactly one time. It would be a great holster for bowling pin night or open carry/range days. It might work for CCW for someone else. I needed a holster with more cant which makes the draw more difficult, but makes it easier to hide the sig. It's also black leather and a belt slide design. It's in new (not broken in/quite stiff) condition. $50 shipped OBO Combine any of the holsters (or all of them) and take $5 of each item after the first one. I'll ship the whole collection to you for $5. Factory Mossberg pistol grip conversion for a Mossberg 500 12 gauge. This is new, unused and comes with the factory attachment hardware. $40 OBO I have assorted scope rings. I have the following (in the packages, I'll mark what's new and what I used briefly). Burris dovetail/windage adjustable matte set of Signature series steel rings with the plastic inserts. These were on a Cooper 223 for exactly 100 rounds. Includes everything, even the allen wrench. PN 420511 $20 shipped Leupold dovetail front/windage adjustable rear matte medium (.770 tall) rings. These look like I turned the front one into a mount, but I don't think I actually installed a scope on them (there are no marks on the rear from the windage screws). PN 49901 $20 shipped Leupold dovetail front/windage adjustable rear (these aren't marked matte or gloss? Appear to be "regular" and .900 tall) rings. These look like I turned the front one into a mount, but I don't think I actually installed a scope on them (there are no marks on the rear from the windage screws). PN 49903 $20 shipped Burris 30mm "Zee Rings". These are steel rings for a 30mm scope. They are matte finish and "high". They fit a weaver/picatinny style rail. I used these for a while to put a 56mm objective scope on a 10/22 I had (I know, I know). They are in excellent condition, but were used for a while. PN 420077 $45 shipped Again, buy more than one set and take $5 off of each of the additional sets. I have apparently been collecting scope rings in the process of mounting scopes on various things over the years. Most of these are virtually "mint" condition. One rubber drop bumper for a Metalform 1911 mag with 4 installation screws. This is new in the package. PN 62189 (metalform pn) $3.00 OBO Ruger GP100 rear sight blade inserts. Ruger PN E05904A-A. I have two of these still in the bubble cards. Not sure why I purchased them. I think that I thought they were something else. $5.00 each OBO Millet front sight for a GP100. I have one on my pistol, and I just found one in a box. It's in good to great shape, but looks to have been installed (rub marks on the finsh where it sits on the barrel, nothing you can see). Millett PN FB00018. $15 GP100 factory front sights. If you wanted one to modify, I have 2 of them. $5.00 each OBO Wolff 17110 GP100 reduced power spring kit. Still sealed in the package, new. $18 OBO Wolff 18 lb recoil spring and firing pin spring set for a Kimber Ultra Carry II (or similar). PN 51818. New in the package. $18 OBO Remington 870 home defense (870 specific) trigger lock. This is a "clamshell" design that is supposed to work with the 870 trigger guard. $10 OBO I have a brand new Weaver TO-9 scope beas for a Ruger 10/22. It's gloss black and still sealed in the package. It's probably not worth shipping seperately, but if you want anything else listed, toss in $10 and I'll throw it in the box for you. I'm out of 10/22's and don't see me dragging another one home soon (I know how that ends...typically $1,400 later). $10 Hex head, aftermarket 10/22 take down screw. Appears to be new/unused. $10 Stock 10/22 parts (make offer on anything): Factory bolt buffer (roll pin). I have 6 of them. Factory magazine releases. I have 3 black and 2 silver. Factory trigger group roll pins (pin the trigger group into the receiver). I have 5 (not sure why it's not 4 or 6, but I have 5). Factory bolt releases. I have 3. Make your own "rock n roll" bolt release by modding these. Factory extractors. I have 3. 2 of those look to have the correct springs with them. Factory firing pin (probably only a few rounds on it, if any). Factory take down screw. I have 1. Factory receiver screws to plug the scope rail mounting holes. I've got a baggie full. It looks like there are a few silver and a bunch of black ones. I have 16 screws total. Who knows what else I have laying around here, but that's a good start to some stuff that someone might find useful. Thanks! Kevin |

Please forgive the Momentary Steal. Kev how is the 6.8mm Rem Spc on range & power.
I remember reading about it's development the AR type rifle I think, It sounded like what the military needed. So I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. This post has been edited by TSHACK: Apr 30 2009, 04:33 PM |

The 6.8 (in a bolt action tactical rifle) makes similar, or less recoil than a .223 AR15. It's truly pleasant to shoot. Actually, it's a cartridge you can shoot all day long with no bad effects. It is rated to make around 2,000 ft lbs of muzzle energy (a 223 is about 1,200 and a .308 is about 2,600), but it doesn't make anything like .308 recoil. It doesn't shoot as flat as a 223, but it's an excellent cartridge and I think it's a very good choice for 1-300 yard distances. It will go to about 600, but it starts to drop a good bit by then.
Overall, I think it's an excellent mid power cartridge with plenty of punch and minimal recoil. It's really an ideal package for its intended use, at least in my opinion. |

I believe that is a 270 cal. round. Does it really have better down range power than the 223?
I wish I had the funds for a rifle chambered for it! hopefully when I get this camaro done, (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I will again. This post has been edited by TSHACK: Apr 30 2009, 09:25 PM |

Yes, it uses a .277 diameter bullet. Max weight is 115 grains. Lets find some ballistic tables... Actually, read this first: http://www.rifleshootermag.com/ammunition/remington_0303/ Cliffs notes: 6.8MMx47 REMINGTON SPC BALLISTICS BULLET VELOCITY (fps) ENERGY (ft-lbs.)

MK 2,800 2,535 2,285 2,049 2,002 1,644 1,345 1,075 *24-inch Barrel QUOTE Remington began to develop the 6.8x43 back in 2002 and is officially introducing it this year as the 6.8mm Rem SPC. As this is written, the cartridge has not been released to the public, but I can tell you that it provides one MOA accuracy out to more than 600 meters. It has a flight path almost identical to that of the .308 Winchester, less chamber pressure than the .223 and fits into the M16 magazine envelope. Tests in 10 percent ballistic gelatin show incapacitation as good or better than the .308. The info here seems pretty accurate as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.8_mm_Remington_SPC |
