[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1831309, member: 69478"] I wish I had all of those tax dollars to spend :rolleyes:. You can have 4 custom rifles for the price of one of those. And why have 3 calibers when one will do it all. The .308 is an antique and compared to 6.5 cartridges like the 6.5x47, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, etc. it gets blown out of the water. Not sure why they still play around with that. I also see no point in having a 300 Norma and 338 Norma. Just pick one. Load the 300 Norma with 215 or 230 Berger’s or the 338 with 300 Berger’s. Need less rifle for short range work? Then use an AR10 platform chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor like has already been accepted by Special Operations. They could also just rebarrel all of their current rifles to 300 PRC or 300 Norma and get a small bump in performance. They could make it 338 Norma as well. It’s built on a Stiller action so it should be able to handle the Norma/Lapua Mag cases. If not, then just chamber it in 300 PRC or 338 RUM or Edge. No sense in replacing all of those rifles. Makes no sense. [/QUOTE]
