    my 6.5 Grendel is up and running

    i'm very pleased with this rifle. it was built off an 80% and stag stripped upper, i used a Spinta Precision barrel 1/8 twist 20 inch, and bolt. i was shooting 1/2 groups at 500 yds, now a need a better optic and i'll be trying for 800+ yds when i get the chance.
    5.56: reach out and touch someone.
    458 SOCOM: reach out and knock someone down.

      6.5 G's are great! Mine gives me big smiles. Congrats on the successful build.

          That's excellent. Might have to be my next upper. What trigger did you go with? Single stage or double stage

            I think he means half of his bullets formed a "group" at 500, lol.

              Good choice! No photo needed for Internet ninjas. You will love that round. Are you reloading for it or buying factory ammo?

                      Pics of said rifle?

                      Kind of late for me to try a new caliber but I had always considered trying out 6.5 Grendel or 6.8 SPC

                        Glad to hear your having good results. love everything I have heard about the 6.5 G cartage. When My 264LBC parts arrive I will create a post of my findings.

                          Are you looking for a long range AR? Hunting AR, I prefer the Grendel for the accuracy and available 6.5 bullets
