Boog Posted April 20, 2016 Report Posted April 20, 2016 Hello folks, I am a retired sailor and working just south of DC. I love my motorcycles and my weapons. For firearms, I currently carry the XD-45 in desert colors and the XM-15 in 6.8SPC when overseas (or around town). Planeflyer21 told me about this forum and posted about my swim to bring awareness to veteran suicides, and because I have a long history with 308/7.62, I decided to join your happy throng and see what I have been missing. Stay safe out there, and always be ready... Boog

I chose it years ago when the 6.8 vs 6.5 comparison was in full swing. I know my own limits and with unaided vision, 300 meters is it for me as my eyes get older. The 6.8SPC has identical trajectory as the 5.56 and is dead on up to 300M. We fit nicely together and the rest is history. Evidently the 6.5 Grendel won that argument though, but for me, I am happy with the SPC. With hat said, I and my youngest son (19) are looking to buy something in 308 this year.
Boog Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Posted April 21, 2016 Thank you all for this warm welcome. I have always appreciated a strong forum community no matter the topic.
