So I bought a rifle from a local builder in my neighboring county. I have never owned an AR but have shot them when I worked for the prison and several friends have them. So I wanted a 6.5 and was on the verge of buying a Rock River when a friend recommended a guy in Madison county that builds ARs and has done so for a few neighboring sheriffs offices. I got a 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22" barrel + a sound forward muzzle brake. It shoots really good and I thought I'd show to y'all... I figured the coyotes around here should fear for there lives as I also just got a new varmint light to mount on the underside of the rifle.

Looks good. Let us know how it shoots when you get a chance.

Does the 6.5 Creedmore use a standard multi-cal upper and lower ?
I'm not sure what you're asking... it's a 308 family cartridge and uses the same bolt face. Only difference is the barrel is chambered for the 6.5 Creedmoor. The guy that built it for me said anytime I want to run a 243 Winchester or a 308 to let him simply swap out the barrel. Only adjustment would be to the gas block to regulate the gas. The lower uses standard AR10 mags and will hold and cartridge that's similar to a 308 Winchester. It'll hold 6.5 Creedmoor 243 win and 308 win for sure cause I've tried them in the magazine to see how they'd fit. I'm thinking of having him build me another in 243 Winchester for coyote hunting.

That answers my question. I was wondering if it was an AR-15 or AR-10 platform build. Thanks.
No problem buddy.

Awesome rig Brother!! I dig it!
Nice gun and nice shooting. 6.5cr is such a nice caliber in the AR10/SR25 platform. Soft shooting, flat and accurate.
If it has a good trigger, you can bet that your other rifles will get left to back up mode only.
Looks good! I have a 243win AR10 and gas issues have yet too be corrected! Factory ammo(win super x 100sp) that leaves rifling marks on the bullets when chambered. Short throat/lead and will be lengthening it and then start back on gas issues. With sierra 90gr fmj coal 2.350" ( manual has 2.650"), .030" short.
