I don’t think so. Not until it becomes a NATO standardized round with widespread use and availability on par with the 7.62/.308. The .308/7.62 is just so widely available and so well supported right now that it doesn’t make sense to go with a 6.5 for a SHTF rifle. If the 6.5 ever becomes as widely available as the 5.56 or 7.62, it would be worth considering. just my $.02

widespread use and availability

Bingo!!! We have a winner. Logistics, my man. Logistics. It's all about the availability of the round. You go to war with the army (ammo/guns) you have.
