I'd take it if they decide they don't want them.

Very nice, especially if you don't have to buy your own ammo!

[rugerla1]

Very nice!

I ran across this and thought someone on here might enlighten us on it!

Been out for a while. Lots issued so far. Even agencies outside DoD have them now. It's just a replacement to hold everyone over tell the next best thing comes along.

I looked into a 300WM when trying to decide on a long range rifle build. When I started comparing ballistics and such I kept coming back to the 260/6.5mm caliber. I ended up with a 260AI that can shoot as far as a 300WM but do it in a short action burning less powder. It takes a 200gr + bullet to equal the BC of the 139-140gr 260 bullets in BC. It takes a 300WM to push a pill that big to velocities that I can get with my 260AI. It was a no brainer for me.

 

I think the military is just stuck on the 30 caliber round. They should consider changing everything to a 6.5mm IMHO.

Switching to 6.5 will never happen for the same reasons the F N F A L was not adopted.
