This review focuses on the Springfield Armory SA-16A2, a semi-automatic rifle designed with a retro 1980s aesthetic. Key features include a fixed carry handle with a fully adjustable rear sight for windage and elevation, an A2-style buttstock and pistol grip, and a 20-inch heavy contour barrel. The rifle aims to replicate the classic AR-15 A2 platform, eschewing modern Picatinny rails for a more traditional look and feel.

This video explores the origins and development of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, originating from frustrations with the 6 XC in high-power competition. Key design requirements included a 2.8-inch overall length for magazine compatibility and inherent accuracy over extreme velocity. The cartridge was spun off the 30 TC case and quickly found success in both match shooting and hunting due to its flat trajectory, retained energy, and manageable recoil. The 6.5 PRC is presented as a more powerful evolution.
