Finally got out and shot my 6.5 grendel today. It's set up for hunting, AA upper, lower and 16in ss barrel, RR 2 stage trigeer, free float handguard and A2 stock. Nikkon scope. No jams or problems of any kind. It was very windy and shooting prone but accuracy looks like it will be very good when I set up a bench and don't have a lot of wind. Had a couple of double taps touching each other. Will put up some pics and targets next trip out.

Congrats.  I have two Grendels setup in a M-4 configuration.  One is a 14.5" and the other is a 16".   What ammo are you using?  The best factory Grendel ammo I have found for long range accuracy is the 123 grain Lapua loaded by Alexander Arms.  I also like the 129 grain SST.   However, Hornday is now loading their 123 grain AMAX in factory loads for less money than AA.  You can get the Hornday for about $20-22 a box of 20 rounds.  Not bad considering AA charges close to $30 for 20 rounds.

Going out tomorrow for the second time with my 24 inch 6.5 Grendel to test different loads. The Peterson Rifle Shooter magazine had great things to say about the Grendel. It's a must read for all Grendel owners.
