FWIW, that poll started in 2014 and the most recent reply was from 2018. In the past few years, I've seen a pretty dramatic uptick in the popularity of 12" to 16" barrels for the 6.5G -- likely as second or third builds as truck guns or suppressor hosts. I think the preferences for 6mm ARC will initially skew a little towards the 18+" end of the spectrum, but I wouldn't be surprised to see shorter barrels become very popular as well. With the high BC of 6mm/.243" projectiles, an 11.5-14.5" 6ARC could be the perfect do-everything gun to fill the role of most 16-18" 5.56 Recce/SPRs.
