Hoping a 16 or 18" 6.5creedmoor upper is available eventually.
I'd be all over that. |

Patiently waiting for my upper, how many people out there have one on order? I’m looking to eventually suppress it, not sure if the CRS or PRS would be a better fit. Super excited for the upper, I will post pics as soon as I have it in hand!

The PRS is definitely the top contender for cans on the upper. I already have the glass and everything, now just the upper

Any chance were going to see complete 6.5 rifles?
Dont want to buy a $4500 gun and then another $3500 upper just to get it in 6.5 |

@Jack_L is there any time table on the uppers being released commercially? I know these have been in the works for a little while, just curious if I am going to regret getting a bolt gun in a month or two

We're getting close.
Had some changes by request of the originating customer, and every time that happens things get pushed back a little, but it's right around the corner. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Getting around 2465-2485 with 130-140gr stuff. I've come to really like shorter barrels with a lot of the new bullet designs. I really like my 13.5 MWS and want to pick up a 14.5 ACC when I get home. What are your thoughts on your guys shorter barrels these days? Is this the way we are headed, are longer barrels going to be reserved for bolt guns/Magnus? |

Nice. I've come to really like shorter barrels with a lot of the new bullet designs. I really like my 13.5 MWS and want to pick up a 14.5 ACC when I get home. What are your thoughts on your guys shorter barrels these days? Is this the way we are headed, are longer barrels going to be reserved for bolt guns/Magnus? A 20" 7.62 is great, until you have to move through a confined space or work in/out of vehicles. A 16" 7.62 is great, but you definitely have to be more "on" with distance and wind than you do with a 20" 7.62. A 14.5" 7.62 is great, but gets dicey at longer ranges, especially if you're using projectiles that have stand-out terminal performance. A 14.5" 6.5 wouldn't be my go-to if I wanted to win a PRS/NRL Match, but it is what I pick up when I go to shoot feral hogs. |

Just running some super generic numbers. on Short Barrels with ELD-M's
A 147 ELD-M launched at 2400fps will hit around 1300 yards before going subsonic A 178 ELD-M launched at 2400 will hit around that point around 1100, I don't think that large frame AR's needs to be thousand yard plus guns all the time, I just see them as awesome tools for that 500-800 yard window where Match 556 really start to get dicey. Comparatively speaking, A 556, 75gr will drift 89 inches 800 yards in a 10mph crosswind with 175lbs of energy left A 6.5 147gr will drift 45 inches/w 670lbs left a 308 178gr will drift 60 inches /w590 these days even with a full length barrel, I think at that if i wanted to shoot longer ranges, i would be more inclined to grab my 300WM as its just way more consistent and hits alot harder than a gas gun |
