Colts new 6.5 creedmoor offering

[Sogan]

Just received an email for a Colt 6.5 creedmoor. Is this a new offering or have I been out of the loop? If its not new, does anyone have any first hand experience?

Heres the link that was in the email: https://www.armsunlimited.com/Colt-Modular-Carbine-6-5-Creedmoor-Semi-Auto-Rifle-p/cm65-18s.htm

Interesting. Presumably it also accepts .223 style uppers too like the 901?

Agreed-very interesting. Had never heard they were working on something like this-looking forward to more info.

I like Colt rifles. I’m glad they’re evolving their 901 line. The sale price isn’t bad if the rifles shoot well. The $2200 price is used MWS money though.

Lol, they need to get the product description corrected. It isn’t monolithic.

I wonder if this was part of a workup in response to DoD's interest in 6.5mm SASS systems and AU is blowing out Colt inventory.

Would have to see some feedback before I jumped. 6.5cr gas rifles seem to be hard to do right, and the 901s were already known for being hard to tame while suppressed.
