Exactly. Someone please tell me why we're spending $???,???,??? on a new 7.62mm semi-auto sniper rifle when there are already thousands of M-14s in storage, which could be refurbished for a fraction of the cost (probably) of the gussied-up AR-10? Save come money, fit them with new barrels, stocks, bipods, optics, etc., and go out and kill some scumbags.

However, I think it's interesting that aside from optics and accessories, we seem to have hit a plateau in the late 1950s with regard to military rifle design. This new rifle is an AR-10 redux.

sigh...Read up on the amount of armorer shop maintenance needed to maintain less that 1 moa accuracy on an M-14.
I was on a state shooting team for 3 years. M-14 is the AR-10’s b*%&h. Spec-ops have been using the SR-25 series rifles for years now. They have mucho dinero to pick any weapon they want to use. They picked an AR-10 variant over the M-14...
M-14 is a great rifle, my M1 Garand is a great rifle. For the work in Trashcanistan I’d want an AR-10 variant. Why don’t any shooters winning at Camp Perry use the M1A anymore?
