6.5 Creedmoor 12" AR10 Battle Rife

With the military planning to switch the standard issue rifle from the M4 to the M7 Sig chambered in 6.8x51. I want to see if there was a better option not only for the military but also for civilian use. In come the AR10 chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor.
In this video, the creator talks about their experience with a short-barreled 6.5 Creedmoor, specifically focusing on the 12.5-inch stainless steel barrel from Deadshot Barrels. The creator highlights how difficult it is to find short-barrel options for the 6.5 Creedmoor caliber, with most manufacturers offering barrels in the 16-inch and longer range, and very few providing shorter options. Deadshot Barrels stands out because they allow for custom barrel lengths, offering a variety of sizes like 9-inch, 10-inch, 11-inch, 12-inch, and even up to 16 inches for different cartridges, including the 6.5 Creedmoor.

The creator explains that they went with the stainless steel barrel, as it was the only material available in stock at the time, and they were okay with that choice. They also mention the option to choose fluted barrels for aesthetic purposes, though they opted for a non-fluted barrel to keep costs lower. The creator notes that the barrel is a little heavier compared to a fluted option but that the weight wasn't a major concern for them.

Overall, the video praises Deadshot Barrels for offering customization on barrel lengths, making it easier for gun owners to get the specific setup they want for their 6.5 Creedmoor rifles.
