Sometime in the near future I need to build a top end for a AR-10T lower, I'm still on the fence for calibers. It will be a target rifle, long range, and maybe used 1% in a hunting role.
Thanks.
I'm not LRRPF52, but I can tell you that the RSAUM has significant advantages at distance, because you are tossing a higher BC bullet at similar or higher velocities. The disadvantage in some situation is that its a single stack mag, not a double stack.
The greater disadvantage is that you are somewhere around 23 pounds of recoil vs. about half or 60% with the .260.
Unfortunately, there still is no free lunch!
