POTD: SIG Sauer SG 750 in 6.5 Creedmoor
Photo Of The Day and we take a look at the new SIG Sauer SG 750 in 6.5 Creedmoor. According to SIG Sauer, in October 2017, the U.S. Special Operations Command determined that the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has the best probability of hitting at distances of 1,000 m (1,094 yd). The recoil was also less than the traditional 7.62x51mm NATO cartridges. I don’t have any scientific data to prove that, but I can vouch that’s all true and beyond. If you’ve tried both, you’d know.
The SG 750 CM has a 22″ barrel and a magazine capacity of 20 rounds. The weight is 3.6 kg (empty) and you can find more specs below.

SOCOM agrees that 6.5mm is the superior caliber
Wait. So 6.5 Creedmoor is still cool? I thought it was 6mm Creedmoor, 22 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 7mm PRC, and so on were cooler. And 6.5 Creedmoor was old news.
