My problem with the AR-10 pattern rifles is that they feel much bigger than a bolt gun. Bigger and heavier.

Looks like it's becoming an M-LOK world...

I have known for a long time that I wanted a semi-auto .308 launcher, with eyes toward an AR-10 platform or a Sig 716 platform as the most likely candidates.

Can someone who knows rifles better than I do (read: all of you) explain why the 6.5 Creedmoor is a good option? Is it a silencer thing? I always thought the benefit of the 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC rounds (the "6" AR rounds I am familiar with to this point) was fitting a heavier bullet into an AR-15 sized platform.

I have just about given up on my desire for an AR-10. I don't need a super accurate AR-10. I just want a M4 with more horsepower. The bushmaster fits the bill but it's a bushmaster. I felt dirty just typing that. I wish BCM would make a 7.62. I just want a light weight 14.5 or 16 inch to throw a aimpoint micro and call it good. I know a 300 blackout does that but I don't want to add another caliber and someday I want an accurate 7.62. It's just far down the list

Drifts less and drops less than the .308, less recoil.

The 6.5 Grendel fits your list of wants. Near .308 performance, fits onto a AR-15 pattern lower. Also, it's extremely accurate.

Any decent magazines available for the Grendel? One of the reasons I keep looking at .300blackout is the mag compatibility.

Yup, I know that the Alexander Arms ones are good to go. SLG would know the answer on others, he's the one whom enlightened me on the 6.5G. He uses his quite a bit.

Thanks. I will do some more research. I wanted to avoid another caliber. I remember a few wildcats based on 6.5/223. I'm a fan of the 6.5x55. For hunting

I'd just as well buy an OBR.
