Best ar10 6.5 creedmoor under 3000
- Thread starter Sparta20

You can probably find a SP10 floating around on Gunbroker or on here. They also distribute their rifles to distributors and some stores could have them in stock.
Also look at LMT or you could even have some of the known builders build you up at solid upper and it wouldn’t be just any Frankenstein parts guns.

There's one on GunBroker right now for only $2000 it's a 20" barrel set up.
I might be able get you into a new JP in 6.5 for veeeeeery close to that number.
Pick up one those last few Mega Maten reciever sets that became available. Then throw a Krieger barrel, a JP BCG, and a Geissele National Match DMR in it. You'll have a gun that will shoot circles around a KAC is better in every possible way than a Seekins and will outperform a JP on demand.
There is a used SP10 here for sale now for 1650 i think it was. I say get that and order a Craddock 6.5 barltein barrel 24" +2 gas and pop it in.

OR a seekins builder kit, same barrel as above, and JP internals. 2200-2400 depending on peripherals

I’d recommend building one. I built mine, 22” Ballistic advantage flutted barrel on Aero receivers, easily shoots sub MOA with good Hornady ammo.
Get the parts on sales and from the PX here and you can build a heck of a rifle cheap.
Total cost of the rifle was between $1,600-$1,700 for mine and the barrel, BCG etc were brand new.

Here’s the only 5 shot group I’ve shot at 100 with mine. Not bad for a “budget” build.

JP LMOS BCG w/ enhanced bolt
JP silent captured spring
Magpul UBR

Get the 22 inch and you can always cut it shorter if you don’t like it. You can also get deep cuts on a long barrel and take off a lot of weight..//..//I’d be looking at GAP10 which is a CA lower/upper sprvedspec’d by GAP....orWilson Combat...
I just bought a used Wilson Combat WC10 in 6.5 creedmoor, not much time behind it yet but so far a hammer.
LMT MWS defenders are $2299 on LMT’s website. It comes with a cl 16” 308 barrel. Order the creed barrel at the same time. You’ll be under or right at $3k. Sell or keep the 308 barrel.
There are alot of good options as have been mentioned.
For pure accuracy, I would probably place an Order for a GAP.
For Turn Key Accuracy, Its really hard to beat a JP
I personally really like LMT, its modular so you can set it up to you liking. I've had, Noveske, LW, and Krieger, barreled 308 Gas guns and honestly i am really impressed with the accuracy of the LMT 6.5 barrel
6.5 top
308 bottom

I got the LMT Texas Predator Edition in 6.5 CM for $2400. Basically the same thing as the 3k rifle on their website except with a Titanium Grey Cerakote job on the receiver and a Texas flag on the magwell. If you can live with that it's a killer deal.
Great advice if you want proprietary mags (hard no) and a rifle that's built by guys who can't build a milspec BCG.
Fuck RRA.
Get a LMT and thank me later.
RRA is well built.. Shoots straight. Are there better rifles in an AR-10 ? Yes. More expensive as well. RRA's proprietary mags are 25 bucks apiece. How many do you need? Their BCG is longer than others, but, I have not seen the US mil-specs on the AR-10 platforms. RRA can build to a standard but chose to go with the 'proprietary thing' (which I think is to their detriment- their proprietary bbl nut for one example). But then the main issue with the AR-10 platform is that: 'parts interchangibility thing'.
I mentioned the RRA as another choice to consider. That's all. I bought mine three(?) years ago and had a lot of fun with it and it's been working. "Fuck RRA", I think is a little harsh.

RRA makes a solid Rifle and is perfect for someone who wants precision on a budget. When first-time shooters ask me for recommendations on a Semi Auto RRA is always in my top three....
BUT!! For the same price they are asking for their 6.5CM you can pick up a Seekins SP10 6.5CM that is better then the RRA in every aspect.
If seekins would wise up and start selling the 6.5CM with a +2 gas system and maybe a second Handguard option it would truly be the best semi-auto on the market under $2500.

I bought a DPMS 308 about five years ago and dropped a stag arms credmoor barrel in it and it shoot sub MOA at 600 with hornady 140 gr factory ammo.
Hope this helps

Totally agree Bigjake. I got my RRA for 1040 and a short while later they stopped selling them at that price and now are up around 2K. Seekins IMO would be the better rifle, up in that price range. But at what I paid for my RRA, I am plenty happy. Nice trigger and sub MOA and no issues with its function. lg
I think I may have mentioned it above but I do have a Seekins SP-10. Like others have said, I think it’s great for the money. Find a coupon like I did and it makes it way better. I really like the fully ambidextrous controls on the rifle except the charging handle. You can lock/unlock the rifle with your right hand and not take it off the grip. It’s a truly ambidextrous rifle. I have two gripes with the gun: the charging handle and the grip but those are my preferences. The flat bottom foreend is nice too.
