Have s 6.5 CM bolt action and building a .308 AR10
The bolt is long range/precision. The AR10 will be more battle rifle set up DMR type. 1-10 lpvo on it
My original goal was to make an AR-10 that could be viable in F-class shooting. The more I dove into it I would have been paying out the ass for a 24” 308 barrel and I doubted I’d even compete.

Factor in the California bullshit laws I was thinking of using a Kali Key that would make the rifle a bolt action… so the thought of using 6.5 creedmoor came to mind. 24” barrels are easily available and the ballistics are better at distance

yeah I know I’d still pay out the ass for a match grade+ barrel but I might as well enjoy the performance vs shooting (unavailable) cheap 308 and being underwhelmed

now I need to decide on a DPMS pattern barrel for an AR-10 in 6.5 creedmoor. And a muzzle device…. And gas block/tube

Adjustable has block. Superlative Arms.
I’m pretty happy with the one from SLR on the 15, this one is likely going to spend its lifetime closed so nothing goes back to the gas key since it’ll be in bolt action mode

until I visit a free state or shit hits the fan

edit: so reading up a tiny bit I think I’ll go with an SLR again since it can close off all gas flow vs venting it forward. I’ll feel better thinking it’s getting as much velocity as possible since none of the gas is bleeding off :rofl:

And I found out that aero makes an adjustable gas block now

so I ordered one

and given the current ammo prices I’ll likely get to test it out next year :anon:
Is it less had jobs than the Superlative ATMs one?

Not looking forward to finding ammo for it

and glass. That’ll probably cost as much as a set of 35s :doh:

I dunno this PA glass I've got is pretty tight at the price I paid. Stayed true between trips even bouncing around in my rig in it's case.
