[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1053642, member: 12995"] I know. I've expressed that sentiment on here numerous times, but the butthurt supporters keep preaching the WM is somehow magically better. You know, because of that old cop-out "Well if it wasn't the best, the military wouldn't use it..." Which is complete BS, because we've all seen those old crappy piece-patched together M4's they make them use, along with those horrendous Beretta M92 sidearms that jam worse than a Remington 742 submerged in a mud puddle... Basically I don't like that phrase when it comes to basic duty weapons, because every department and every branch of the armed forces buys their main-issue duty weapons from the cheapest supplier, NOT according to who makes the best product. They give them set standards, and who is cheapest wins the contract. :rolleyes: The only people who get to pick their weapon from the best of the best is SF, Seals, SO, etc... On paper the 2 are so close ballistically, it makes the ****ing contests that happen on here completely null and void. I prefer the 7mm caliber, but I still own a bunch of .30's as well, including a .300WM. [/QUOTE]
