    7mm SLR?

    The SAW does seem to be practical. I’ll take better than 308 performance and use existing brass over pressure on the ragged edge.

    Remington actually did it...

    I looked at one at SWFA. Pretty good package. Retail was just under $1K. They are also doing a 5R model in 6.5 creed. I was pretty tempted. Now if FN would just give us the FN SPR in a 6.5. And BTW FN, make it chrome lined.

    Armalite AR-10 and Armalite AR-10 (Eagle Arms)

    At one time Armalite uppers only came as complete rifles. Eagle arms was a "lesser" line and you could get eagle lowers and eagle complete rifles. Armalite lowers had a better warranty. CL Barrels and certain parts were not used on the eagle rifles. I had a few and they were fine the...
