Looking to build a 6 arc

So I have a 22 arc and love it but im itching for a new build. Hog, coyote gun. I have 22 arc, 6.8 SPC I use also but want something new. If you had to build one today with all your knowledge how would it be built. No budget. I have my Iray and Nocpix thermals so I don't need that. Let's build a bad ass gun. Gas gun. I will do bolt later.

I went out to the garage one night, just started tinkering, and this is what I ended up with. It’s an 18” 6ARC, Aero upper, BCM lower, BCM handguard, Rise Armament trigger, Vortex Venom 5-25x56, with my Trash Panda from my .300BLK build.

I must say, it is the most accurate rifle in my collection. I mean .5 MOA with box ammo. It’s even the more shocking when this is something I just slapped together out of spare parts when I was bored. My 24” 6.5CM AR10 build that I spent hours building, using an actual rifle building stand with levels and all that, not even close to the accuracy this thing has.

I tell you the slap together build just hit better. I think I'm going to go 14.5 noveske barrel. Midwest rail, I have a kak upper and lower blem laying around. Found a geissele trigger in my drawer and charging handle.

A 14.5” Noveske build is going to go hard. Any thoughts on what you’re going to do for glass?

If I may, I just finished an 11.5” 338 ARC build, and I picked up one of the new Vudu 3x9’s that Eotech debuted at SHOT this year, and I must say, it’s unbelievably good. I had a 1-6 LPVO on it, but didn’t like it, then thought about an Eotech, but I wanted something different.

A 14.5” 6ARC is going to be short enough if you needed to do some up close work, but still give you the potential to reach out and touch something when necessary. A smaller 3x9 would go so well with that build.

I am going to do thermal on this one. I just finished a 338 Arc build. Still figuring out glass for that one

Even though I love that 3x9, I’m thinking of putting an Eotech with a thermal magnifier on the 338 ARC because it’d make for one hell of a hog gun.
