I have a chance to acquire either, or both of these guns. Being new to the "tacticool" club , I thought I'd open up the floor for discussion of the pro's and cons of each ! Both guns are in demand, and have reputations as quality products. The only difference I've found is that 6.8 ammo seems a lot harder to find than .308. I'll be using the gun for AZ deer/elk hunts, and, of course, "zombie" patrol !

 

I know nothing and have no experience at all about guns, but for some reason the Barrett really appeals to me. So I would choose the 6.8.

 

If you are hunting with it, get the 308.

 

The Barrett REC7 is a bad ass gun, but the .308 caliber might be more suited to your needs. If you don't buy the POF, put me on it and I'll buy it.

 

.308.

 

The Barrett is here! The seller of the POF kept jacking up the $$$ - so I walked. Now, to find some 6.8 ammo, then off to the range.

 

good choice, the one i would have made! congrats and enjoy!

 

Congrats. I've been trying to resist the urge to pick up a REC7 that I know is available. I only wish Barrett would have followed through and made the suppressor for them.
