[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 3040462, member: 124909"] I split time depredation hunting between my DPMS 308 g2 hunter (originally around 7.5 pounds from the factory) and my 6.5 Grendel. Both weigh about the same with ammo and my thermal. About 10 pounds. 20" barrel, No muzzle brake, no suppressor. I shoot 168 Amaxs in the 308 and they kill deer and hogs very well. This gun hates bullet weights under 165. Its recoil really isn't bad at all and it is extremely accurate with my hand loads. It is actually a very smooth shooting gun. Video quality with it is good but not as good as it is with the Grendel. The Grendel has less muzzle rise and a little less muzzle flash. Most of the time however I shoot the Grendel. Very little recoil. Easy to shoot, Great video quality and it is also very accurate. 20" barrel, No brake or suppressor. I don't like shorter barrels. It hits game a lot harder than I ever thought it would. I'm sure the 6.5 CM would serve you well also and ballistically it has a bit of an edge on the 308 at distance depending on load and bullet. And possibly a little edge on recoil depending on what loads you use. Personally I like them all and may just build a CM or 260 in the future. Just so I could say I have one. [/QUOTE]
