Great to see. I have been attempting to minimize the amount of shit my hobbies accumulate and have been thinking about getting two 6.5CM rifles, a lightweight hunting rifle and a gas gun. I think the cartridge can do anything I may want to do with it.
IIRC, barrel life with 6.5 CM is akin to .308.
No link. Neighbor works for FN and dropped off a catalog and some swag. Not sure if these will ever be available to mere mortals. But I was looking at them. In addition I think Handl Defense is going to be making some or had in the past. Not sure which.
For what’s its worth he did say the MK20’s were going to start being produced here. Belgium can’t keep up with demand for the 17’s apparently and despite them being control freaks the powers that be will allow them to be built here and not assembled as current with the 17-16S lines.
That gives me hope that the 260’s and the 6.5 might be available in the future.

"Soldier Systems," an industry daily mentions SOCOM has adopted the 6.5 Creedmoor. http://soldiersystems.net/2018/03/23...adopts-6-5-cm/
"The War Zone" says SOCOM will be getting new rifles and "assault machine gun" in the Creedmoor.
PEO Soldier is looking into a new MG and I wouldn't be surprised to see it lighter weight and suited to the Creedmoor, also.
