Springfield M1A in 6.5? Thoughts?
I have an M1A in 7.62 which I honestly don’t shoot, but this is sorta intriguing. What’s the consensus around here.

That looked interesting, but I'm hard pressed to think why an AR-type rifle chambered for the same cartridge wouldn't be better.

Bula defense has announced they are releasing one as well. They’re sending me one this month.

Almost coming full circle when considering that the M1 Garand and its Pedersen Competitor in 276.

Interesting

Doesn't surprise me. Many manufacturers are jumping on the popularity of the caliber. The platform has always had a niche following. Maybe now it'll appeal to more shooters.

It's a lot easier to mount optics on an AR-10.

And cheaper.

I would think that an AR10 type action would be much more accurate than a M1A (without sinking a ton of money in it).
