so, i gotta buy-ok, gonna buy a new upper. looking into the 6.5 Grendel. i know a few of you here have them, was looking for pros and cons of any and all manufacturers, differences in barrel length, and such. i really like the concept it has, but am looking for real world answers, not just sales pitches. thanks all.

Just info you: several on the board here have or have had, 6.5Gs, and all were quite impressed, as far as I can tell. Its an excellent choice, to hear tell. I think Hoot and Texas Sheepdawg are experienced in these matters?

That's affirm.

I'm looking at doing the same. I have decided on a 20 inch barrel directly from Alaxender Arms. I'm going to lose about 70fps in factory ammo from a 24 inch tube as far as I can tell. Can't speak from experience, just ignorance. Going to build on a Rock River upper and lower receiver. Ross will be hearing from me for a brake, going with a magpul prs stock, timney trigger and yankee hill hand guard and gas tube.

Let us know how you come out! I'm interested.

Be thinking of a sweet little girls' name for your Grendel.
Mines name is Gretchen and she is one little sweetie!

So I finally got my grendel barrel. Now I have no cash to finish the project. Going to take baby steps to finish this one out.

Sounds like my first girlfriend!

Sounds more like my LAST girl friend.

What is the intended mission for this cartridge?

I mean if it's a "Just Because" Thing then I'm in, but I was wondering. What is the Draw and intended uses for the 6.5g??

Personally, Tim, I built mine for long range coyote vaporization and for sendero roaming scrappy Texas deer. And it gave me the chance to build my own AR from the ground up so I could learn the platform. Also, it gives me an extra rifle for guests. Once you pet her, you'll want to take her on a date.
