Looking for other opinions. Thinking about adding another AR to the collection other than 5.56 and seeking comments on these two options.... Get an AR 15 upper in 6.5 Grendel vs an AR 10 in 308. I do already have an LMT MWS 308 but wouldn't mind a second similar rifle.
The benefits of the Grendel choice is the weapon is significantly lighter than the AR 10, uses a standard AR 15 lower and the ballistics are similar to a 308.
Downside is the cost of ammo for brass 6.5 Grendel is right around .90 cents Vs significantly cheaper .308 ammo plus .308 / 7.62x51 is much more mainstream ammo.
Sooo... between the two, what would you choose? Thanks in advance!
