I settled on the 6.5 because 1) I did not want to lug a .308 around and 2) The 6.5 seemed to offer me more bullet choices. Most rifles come down to personal choice. I have friends with 6.8 and they love them. I just chose to go in a different direction. An AA Tactical upper on a Plum Crazy polymer lower is very light, dependable and serves me well as a deer rifle.
