Hey all.
I'd like a truck gun that would live under the back seat. Before you say it, no, I've never had a vehicle broken in to, and I live in a very rural area and park in the police station parking lot when going to work. Thus, I'm not worried about spending some change to get what I want vs. a $200 ChiCom gun that I wouldn't be as devastated to have stolen.
I'd like to stick with an AR, because if I should ever have to bring such a weapon to bear, I'd sure rather have an AR in my hands than an AK when somebody else with a gun pulls up. I know they're stereotypes, but AKs scream "terrorist" or "gun nut" to most people, whereas ARs may tend to have the a more "government", "official" look. This may seem trivial, but I'd like to stack as many cards in my favor as possible before I find myself in a fast-moving, bad situation.
I've got other reasons for not particularly wanting a 5.56 or .308, and am pretty convinced that 6.8 or 6.5 would fit the bill nicely. Everybody's singing the praises of the 6.5, saying it's all-around superior to the 6.8, but there's rumors here and there that the 6.8 being better at CQB. However, I've never seen anything to back this up.
These two rounds are so new that I've seen absolutely no feedback from the few rifles that are in Iraq and Afghanistan - anybody got any feelings about which would be better for a truck gun?
Thanks,
Gerry
