I stopped by the LGS yesterday(first time in almost a year) and noticed one of the above set up for AR mags on his rack. By Golly, if I didn't already have 3 AR uppers in 6.5G, I'd have spent the grocery money and brought that one home. Nice little utility gun if you have need for something bigger than a .223.

I like my Ranch model in 6.5, much more than I thought I would.

Addendum: What sort of accuracy is someone/anyone getting with the available ammo in this model?
What I've found using 3 different 6.5G AR's is: WOLF FMJ isn't worth the cost even if it's free. All it might be good for is smoothing the bore a bit but accuracy is dismal. Hornady SST is prime stuff. Federal MSR seems OK but not as accurate as Hornady.

I have pulled the bullets from the Wolf stuff and replaced with a quality bullet. Shoots pretty good then.
