Moorlander Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 With so many AR15 straight pulls around I was wondering why so few AR10`s? is the .308w problematic for straight pulls ? could 6.5CM be used ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just finished this .243 off this morning There is no problem with .308, some people may tell you there is, but they have no experience of it Why are there so few? Well you must be moving in the wrong circles, because I see and know of plenty I see Armalites (I have one) LMTs (Sidecharged around 20) Baldies, a few SGCs, my own and even know of a couple of POFs The truth is though is that while they are heavier and more expensive than .223 ARs, there is no real advantage to shooting a .308 bullet out of one compared to a good quality heavyweight .223 bullet As for other calibres, what would you use them for?

Moorlander Posted August 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I suppose with the 6.5CM being so popular it would make a nice rifle . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

condorman Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 I have got a LMT in 6.5 creedmoor, It has a 24" 1in8 twist Lother Walther stainless steel barrel with a Hausken moderator and it is accurate hitting steels out to 1450 yards at Tiffs place, It uses the same bolt and magazines as a 308win, The upside over a 308 or a Acurracy International is it's lighter and is straight pull, I love it and preferred it to the AI AX 308 I had!
