Best Gas Piston 6.5 Creedmoor

[quailybirds]

Looking to buy a piston operated AR in 6.5 creedmoor, and would like to keep it at or under 8 lbs un-scoped. Anyone have some recommendations for the best options? Only considering a gas piston rifle.

You're either going to have to build it or spend a ton of money on a custom one or short barrel. Gas piston rifles tend to be heavy and gas piston creedmores are quite often 2k+.

Why are you only considering pistons?

I have a brand new Smith MP 10 Performance Center 6.5 Creedmoor I would love to sell you! Way less than 2 grand!

I didn't think those were gas piston guns?

Adams Arms and POF both have 6.5 Creedmoor models that weigh 8.4 lbs out of the box. That may be as close as you can get without building and using lots of ultralite parts.

I have an Adams in 7.62 and they are pretty nice?

For the price of any of them I would have a hard time not building....
