lot of unanswered questions, even some hinting at a bit of hanky panky in the group that does the choosing.

Now the military is thinking of choosing a German made rifle that is not as accurate and somewhat more bulky than our current Knight's Armament system sniper rifle, the M110. Here is more..

and are going by all the "wannabe experts" on the internet that the 6.5 is the miracle bullet. The new 264 USA is almost exactly the same as the 260 Remington. But someone has given it the magic name 264 USA. Plus with the polymer body on the case they are just asking for more problems. Just my humble opinion as usual, not to be confused with those of someone with a brain.

You know, I really liked 6.5,..

.. when it was just the 6.5x55. Every time I hear the word "Creedmoor" I cringe a little.

Thanks for the info. I hope this idea

goes into the trash heap of history as a failed idea before any troops get killed because of it. The .22 and .260 rounds are good for varmits but I still do not like them for a military round. What was wrong with the M1 Garrand or the M1A/M14? I would take either one of those to these so called super infantry weapons. BTW, got my hands on a Sig 320 at the PX the other day and I would still take a G19 to it any day.

Damn, I ahted the M16, grew up shooting the M1/M14

With but was particularly put off when they handed me a plastic TOY to defend ourselves and kill the enemy with, but I grew to appreciate it usefulness at what it was designed for. I grew up with a love for guns to hunt and shoot with. I still can’t bring myself to buy a gun specifically designed to kill Americans regardless of how good they are. I know that’s crazy, but its how I feel.
