I built my first 6.5 Grendel a few weeks a go.  I finally got to take it hog hunting tonight.
It was about a 125 yard shot. I used 100 gr Barnes TTSX with 30.5 gr H335. 18" Sabre Defense barrel.

Never pick a fight with seven men if all you are packing is a six gun.

did you pop him at night?
Is that a trijicon scope?

nice lung-job, by the way. Did it drop him pretty fast?

ETA: just saw the timestamp. good "shot in the dark".

I shot him right at dusk.  He only went a few feet and that was it.

The scope is a AccuPoint TR20R Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm Dual-Illuminated Red Triangle Post Reticle Matte.

Nice shooting, and thanks for sharing the pic.  

A couple questions, if you don't mind.  Is that a chrome-lined or a stainless tube?  Any idea of the weight of the barrel or the complete gun?  I eyed an 18" Sabre for my second Grendel build, but I went AA 16" partially because of weight and mostly because of price.
