Asking because local BellasProAss actually has a Savage 110 Tactical Southpaw in 6.5 Meme. And guns in the handedness of Gun Judas are fucking hard to find even in the best of times. But is Mememoore just a fad that is already passing with the PRC's being the new hotness? I know it has seen limited adoption by the military, and my grandpappy said buy shit the military uses, but by army guys who have personal ammo budgets higher than the entire yearly budget of my local sheriff's department. And they can change on a whim should "the mission dictate".
Normally I'd go with .308 because I already stock it for the Cold War Rifle collection, or at least Full NATO. I've avoided Mememoore because if I had followed every trend I'd have a .260 Remington, 6.5 Grendel, 6.8SPC, all of which was to be the next big thing then faded.
I could ask long range shooters, but they're kinda assholes plus sniff the manufactures and guntubers/bloggers farts. Figure autists would be the better perspective.
6.5 mememoore is just one in a long line of meme carts. If you're a reloader, then it could be a fun cart to try, but if you buy off the shelf even ball ammo is going to be crazy expensive going forward.
People are confused about the military contract. They're taking bids and designs for a completely new cart. It will feature a 6.5mm bullet, but the case will probably be different. It's not set to be 6.5 mememoore and probably won't be.
Why does the military matter? Aren't those the same cucks that let a muslim non-citizen occupy the Whitehouse for eight years? Are they incompetent or complicit in the subversion of democracy? These are all completely valid questions.
The military contract matters because whatever they choose will become more affordable in the civilian market. Look at the difference in price for something like .308 vs any other 30 cal cart with similar case capacity. That affordability and availability will be the most important part of your experience with the weapon.
BOTTOM LINE If you just want to spend money, you can. If you want a rifle chambered in a cart you'll be able to find for a decent price(OR AT ALL), you might want to wait, or fall in love with some other gun.
