Ok, who here has shot the 6.8 SPC mini-14 yet? Heard about it recently, and I really would like to use this gun as a hunting gun also. I hunt the "brush country" of upstate NY, and like the carbine on the Mini-14 for its compact size and quick to shoulder capabilities ( I have an older Ranch Rifle in .223, which is not suitable for hunting whitetail and, yeah, it ain't the most accurate rifle in the world, but its quick to reacquire a target and get off a 2nd and 3rd shot, if necessary.)

Also, anyone here had any experience with Accuracy System's Mini-30 conversions? I heard they can do a 6.8 SPC mini-30 conversion, and are wondering if the added accuracy is worth the extrain coin? C'mon people, somebody out there must have shot this new Mini-14 6.8 SPC by now? Anyone?
