Mk 13 Mod 7 to the Marines.

Nice to see some movement away from the 308.

With that being said, looks like they are paying 12k per rifle. wonder why they went with the mk13 rather than a M2010 or an AI

Very nice, I wonder if all will be built on the Stiller action.

 

[JSTARSZ]

I am sure the 12k per rifle has to do with maintenance contracts to service the rifles - going to burn out those 300 Win Mag barrels pretty quickly I bet.

I agree, that mk248 can be a real barrel burner. But them ballistics though...

 

[FatBoy]

curious how many will be new builds and how many are hand-me-downs sitting in storage at Crane?

Glad the Jarheads finally got something accurate with a little more range.

We always make do with hand me downs LOL.
