As a DM round I'd use it.

100% They're replacing the 7.62 KAC M110 Snipers with the 6.5's and they're running SCAR17's and SCAR20's in 6.5 as well. Been running them for quite some time.

Probably just cuz it's the new "in" thing to do tho and matches up well with their man buns, Birkenstock's and grande orange mocha frappacino's…

Ok I'll play... but I do own several 6.5 creds

oh I got my 308's. Got my M40a1 , M40a3 and a 20" LMT MWS and a 24" 6.5 barrel to go with it. I dont discriminate

I shoot a lot more of 6.5 variants, but I always have a .308 handy. A cartridge doesn't stop being effective because another is marketed well.
Great group.

Absolutely agree. The photo shows what I can do with the 308Win from a 24" barrel. G7BC is 0.218 136 gr BD2 0.308 cal bullet.

Jud96,

Yep'..., the M14 design is timeless as is the cartridge, I've used both the M14 and the M21 over my many years I like the rifle so much that I set one up for my general all-around rifle (NM Loaded M1A) pretty darn hard to beat'..., drop in a few Sadlak parts; gas piston, op rod, and replace Springfield's extractor with the original GI grade and it's quite the pipe hitter. I get amazing accuracy with my 168gr MK loads that equal most of my bolt rifles in .308/7.62x51mm which translates to 1 moa and under for five-shot groups.

Is that cheekrest specific to the M14? Is it available as an aftermarket part? Who sells them?

Check out this group I fired tonight at 100 yards with my Dad's old Remington 700 Varmint Special with Leupold 6.5-20x40 Target scope. Those 3 shots measure 0.067" center to center. Calipers pictured show 0.375 outside to outside. This old rifle and cartridge can still shoot some incredible groups. This is my personal best group I've ever shot at 100 yards!
