Only thing putting me off is...magazines...There's only one made specifically for the ARC it's the ASC with red follower, there's a MDT ARC magazine too but why would anyone spend 89 bucks for a 15rd magazine wow.
Been over 2 years now for me. I have really liked the 6.5 Grendel in the CZ 527 action. Then I had a 6mm ARC barrel spun up to substitute for a 6.5 Grendel barrel. What can I say other than I like it. Have loaded bullets from 55 grains up to 115's and all have done quit well.
Three large whitetail deer have now been taken with my CZ 527 chambered in 6mm ARC. As of last fall. First season a 108 grain elite hunter was utilized at 254 laser verified yards. High shoulder resulted in a DRT result. Then last fall I opted for a Hammer 87 grain absolute hunter. Took the first doe at roughly 100 yards on that windy afternoon, with a heart lung broadside shot that resulted in a 80 yard death run. An hour later I spotted the 2nd doe standing up in her bed exposing a bit of her neck and all of her head at a hundred yards again. With the cross hairs at the base of her neck the trigger was touched. Back to bed she went, only to be hauled off to my freezer a short while later.
I am hooked on the 6mm ARC in a mini bolt action. CZ is my favorite. Though the Howa Mini seems to have potential as well.
