You nailed it! You won’t regret the performance of that caliber and ammo availability hasn’t been a problem for me. I promise you I’ve done the R and D on deer and copper bullets are far and away the best choice for hunting that I’ve used. I’m shooting the tipped Barnes (110g I believe) with unbelievable results. Good luck on the scope!

Probably correct. I am not interested in either one, as I have 5.56 and 6MM ARC. At some point will build a .308 AR-10.

I started my grandson with a 300BO AR. The rear stock would close up small enough to fit him, and we let it out as he grew. He is shooting 125gr in it, and it carries about the same ballistics as a 30.30. If you keep that in mind, limit your shots to around 100 yards or so, it will be a fine combination, or at least it has for us.

The slow death of most “hot new cartridges” makes me slow to adopt anything that people weren’t hunting with when Ronald Regan was president.

Low power variable 1-4.5 to 1-8 are my favorite ar optics, but for a kid a straight 3 or 4 power is great because they can’t turn it up “too high” causing problems finding the deer.

yep. I only let Samsam shoot with a 5 round mag. It makes it a lot less likely that the mag will hang on something in the stand, and I figure if he ain't killed it with 5 shots, 30 ain't gonna help much

I got an ACS 5 round mag and a Sig 2x7x32 scope. The gun itself hasn't shipped yet... the order is still "processing."

Almost there! Waiting on the mag. My son is real excited, will get to the range this week.

Get yourself a couple of C products defense mags, they've got a better reputation than ACS does for reliability

I was looking at them for the 6MM ARC but they don't make a caliber specific mag. It's the same as the 6.5G, so I went with ACS. Will see. Mags are the weak link in 6MM ARC right now...

I'm not familiar with the 6mm ARC as far as the cartridge profile , it is similar to the 6.5G ? I did read somewhere that CPD uses the same mag for the 6.5G and the 7.62x39, just uses a different follower for each one .
I got turned on to CPD mags even before I started building a 7.62x39 , all the research I did made me aware the mags were the main problem with using that cartridge, and CPD was the only one everybody had no problems with, ACS , or actually ASC was the second choice for the 7.62x39 as theirs seem to be hit or miss, but that being said the problems were mainly with the larger capacity mags, 20rds and above
In googling it appears the profile of both the 6.5g and 6mm ARC are virtualy identical ? other than bullet diameter, that is probably why CPD only makes the one mag for both ?
