[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1386815, member: 12995"] I love the .300BLK cartridge, but that's still falling along the same lines of saying the 6.5CM isn't sacrilege because it's based on the .308 Win case... It's all in how it's justified to the consumer. I think the M1A 6.5CM will be a big seller for SA, as they don't have particularly high rifle sales numbers because of their high prices, but I think overall it will be a flop. In other words, I think the hype will die very quickly once those who have the means to go buy a $2,100 range toy at the drop of a hat, have already bought theirs...Then it's going to take a cliff-dive. Not many folks are going to buy a semi-auto 6.5CM for $2,100, when they can build an AR-10 or go buy a more accurate factory bolt gun for a lot less. I mean, sure it's great that the CM shooters have another option (I wish the industry would treat the rest of the cartridges this special), but at the same time, it's just a fairly dumb option, IMO. I guess the M1A is about the final frontier for the CM... They've successfully whored it out in every other type of weapon system, so, I guess for the industry its more of going full-circle. [/QUOTE]
