Has anyone played with a 6.5 AR10? Thinking of building one to use as a wind dummy for the SML. Might have to use it to kill some coyotes also.

I have one that I built, with a heavy profile fluted 20" barrel. Recoil is nearly nonexistent, and accuracy is MOA with factory ammo. Seems like more people are building these in 6.5 than 308 currently, but I have one of each and in the process of building a second 308. The current build should be +/-6lbs with optic.

I have one that I built, with a heavy profile fluted 20" barrel. I am trying to put my finger on the barrel length. How do you like your 20”? I’m going back and forth between 20-24”. I like the idea of a light weight 308 and that is on my list to do. |

Optimum barrel length for the 6.5 CM tends to run longer than the larger calibers available for the platform. so for me 20" offered the best balance of down range performance vs mass. I still won't be stalking deer with it!

I have built 3 with Wilson combat 22” super sniper barrels aero Precision m5e1 matched builders sets tool craft bolt adjustable gas block and they will shoot 1/2” or less 5 shot groups at 100yds
