I'm as dumb as a rock, or you aren't making any sense...
If you have a couple of Colts, why do you think you need a "plinker"?
As far as the Stag components, that is one more reason to run away from that rifle. Stag, while not bottom-of-the-barrel-junk, is certainly not high quality.
If you are already dead set on buying a rifle that you don't need, against the advice of people that know what they are talking about (Grant, in particular) go for it....

One thing I don't get. I hear all the time that guys want to save money on a "plinker" cuz their life won't depend on it.
I have plenty of hobbies that my life won't depend on. But I don't buy crap just to save a few bucks. In terms of rifles, +/- 200 is not near enough money to take a chance on crap. If I'm just out plinking with a .22 for fun, it still has to work. It's not fun if it don't work.

Who says I "need" anything? I wasn't aware that firearms purchases require need. I WANT a plinker in 6.8. How bout them apples?
I didn't realize Stag was thought of so poorly.
Again, thanks for the advice.

Pira, what +$200 ($965.00) 6.8 rifle did you have in mind?
Thanks.

I missed the 6.8 part. Is this for any hunting? I put a 6.8 together and it had a Stag brl. Sold it. Not because of the barrel, but I ended up not wanting to use 6.8 for hunting and it was too pricey (ammo) for just plinking. For me anyway.
The point here remains. You asked about a rifle you want to buy, then seem defensive when we don't like the choice.
You posted here for a reason. You either wanted real advice and were open to it, or you wanted validation for what you thought was a good deal.
Buy it or don't. I don't care. But the advice you asked for was given. Remember that IF you end up regretting your choice.

It's not so much that I'm defensive. Just don't care for being talked down to and treated like an idiot.

I don't think it started that way. Anyway, start over with this. This is a great site.
Maybe re-ask the question, after searching for the answer, to be more direct. As in asking for help in putting together a good quality 6.8 that primary use is plinking, and your budget is "xxx". Might be a better way to find what you're looking for.
No hard feelings.

Ok. Fair enough. I realize this is not the forum for 6.8 but since it flows from this discussion, does anyone have any ideas for a quality 6.8 build that can be done for under $1K?
Thanks.

Not as a complete rifle or upper as far as my knowledge currently goes, but if you're planning to build you can get the barrel plugged into an upper ect...
If you're just going to plink I'd look into 5.45 uppers since they're a little more affordable to run depending on where you are.
+ I for sure would try searching with the search option or asking at a 6.8 site since it's not an easy answer, I think.
