[QUOTE="JEVapa, post: 3835033, member: 41176"] The main reason the US doesn't use a 308 as a main battle round is because it's heavy AF (>3x the weight of 5.56). Not really any other reason. If the SR platform wasn't robust enough for military use, there would be no SR25s, MK11s (all mods), or M110s in the inventory. The Canucks wouldn't be using the 716. BTW, the M110 is an Army weapon, not an "elite" gun. They are all used as sniper/DMR platforms for the same reasons the M21 was developed, which is an accurized M14 - greater range but only one or two guys carrying it. A basic load of 308 is again, heavy AF. [/QUOTE]
