nah a bit too big & heavy for me
The way I see it , is the 6.5CM has been designed to fit in the shortish , AR10/SR25 & M14 mags , which are limiting when you try to load a 260 into that mag , so to me the whole 6.5CM / 260rem , is more about the rifle platform you intend to use it in , ie if using a AR type then better to go 6.5CM , if in say a longer action mag like a AW , then go 260rem .
Here's a link to a NZ dealer
Spoke to him the other day and he says it comes with two 10 rounder Pmags, and gives them a legit reason to mass buy them in to drive down the crazy prices of Pmags here.
Ruger Precision Rifle 308Win - bolt, arstyle, first, ruger, features, barrel, ... - Serious Shooters
Seems like a reasonable price too.
Without starting a long annoying debate, and without doing any research, how much better, if any, is the 6.5CM over the mighty .308WIN?
Better in what sense?
Avaibility of ammo and components, price: 308 wins
Trajectory, wind bucking and recoil: 6.5 creedmoor( similar flying balistics to a 300 win mag with out the nasty recoil)
Accuracy and ease to put together the right load would be equal for both.
I just ordered one in 6.5mm , but the one I want is the 243 .
I quite like the look of them, quite tempted to sell my Savage Tactical .308.
I think the 243 would make a good varmint gun , as you can use some nice long bullets as it has a tight twist barrel , its a 1-7.7 I think .
Yep, it shouts 105 a-maxes or even 115 smks!
Yeap ,
The 6.5 CM is only streets ahead in the USA , as anywhere else in the World ammo & brass are un-available , I wished I had ordered a 243
Hey @Digit, merry Christmas!
Just curiosity, do you have any news in this toy?
