[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 739898, member: 22069"] For a conversion from a .308 BAR to a 6.5 of some kind, assuming you can find a gunsmith willing to tackle the project, your best bets would be .260 Remington or 6.5 Creedmore. I would be more inclined to go with the Creedmore, since it was pretty much designed to be used in an AR-10 platform. However, I find your last comment kind of curious. The 6.5 family of cartridges have many virtues. Being "brush busting" cartridges is not among those virtues. If that is what you are after, I question why it is that you want to go from .308 to 6.5. Before you embark on what promises to be an expensive project, it would be wise to be more clear about your desired result than you appear to be. [/QUOTE]
