Got most of my parts together...I am having thoughts about doing it in a 6.5..or sbould i do a. 308.... I am going to order barrel next week...opinions???
 
What do you want to do with it? Do you reload?
Obviously if you're contemplating a 6.5 a true spec M40A5 isn't your sole intent
 
Yes sir all depends on what you want to do with this rifle if you already have common round do it all rifle then I would go
6.5 creed or .260 so you can really stretch out and touch something 1000 yards plus accurately.
 
I have a bunch of. 308... like them all..but a 260 or a 6.5x47.is calling my name..i have a 6.5x55 sniper so i can use common reloading components...i have everything for a USMC Spec build but barrel..i was going to order a a Schneider this week
 
There you go sir I'm the same way I have 3 308's and love them but I'm building a 260 that's been calling my name I just want something that has better ballistics less wind adjustments and a lot less elevation. This is probably going to be a great build be sure and post pic of your new stick project.
