    We would like to see better support, and a bit of an established history for the cartridge prior to considering it.

    If they aren't doing 762x39, I sincerely doubt they'll do one in a brand new cartridge that no one has yet.

    Magazines are 6.8 SPC and the cartridge is illegal in parts of Ontario. Great round for sure tho.

    It's kind of risky, but could be an incredible varmint round for this platform, seems like a lot of people buy them with that POU in mind. It's kind of a trade off though, either you wait until it becomes prolific and have just another offering or be the only shop around making a platform for the hot new cartridge, similar to 6.5 Grendel, selling that chambering gives them pretty much the whole market for that cartridge in a semi auto non restricted. If they did the same with 22 nosler they would literally be the only company offering that option up here. But if it flys by night and never becomes prolific it's could be a loss. Just a thought I had (I have lots, some are great!, some not so much lol), I understand their hesitance to adopt a widely unproven and unavailable new chambering and respect their decision to hold off. Just seems like it could have a lot of potential... someday.

    What is the wait time on the 6.5 uppers and anyone know where you can get factory ammo in that caliber. I am tempted to order but worried ammo is going to be a problem.

    To build just an upper I would think 3 to 4 months.
    We stock several different types of ammo for the 6.5 Grendel.

    How can the cartridge be illegal? Or do you just mean for the purpose of hunting it is illegal? Kinda like how we can't hunt big game in Alberta with a .22cal even if it's a 22-250, the cartridge isn't illegal but hunting big game with it is prohibited.

    Ok ordered an upper. Hoping this is what causes me to sell most of my other guns. As it will cover target and hunting now
