GEISSELE MRGG 6.5 CREED WRITE UP AND REVIEW

I knew when I first heard some of the bold claims about the Geissele mrgg rifle that I was going to want one to try myself. When they started showing up at Euro and a few other places I went ahead and put an order in. Initial impressions were positive. Fit and finish is unreal. I personally think it’s a super sexy rifle.
IMG_3488.jpeg

IMG_3489.jpeg

Rifle ships in a nice pelican case with gun lock, manual, and a sweet beanie. Which brings up my first complaint. Give me a freaking magazine with my 6k rifle geissele. Yes I have plenty but it should be standard. Yes I understand ban states etc but literally every other company makes it work. Let’s start back to front.


IMG_3468.jpeg

STOCK-Ships with a Magpul prs lite. I honestly thought I would change this out. I like a short lop on my rifles but after shooting with it I believe I’ll keep it. No complaints.

IMG_3470.jpeg
IMG_3472.jpeg

PISTOL GRIP-I like the grip they use on their rifles and it will stay on my rifle. If anything I wish it was a hair more vertical. It fits the hand nice though.

TRIGGER- Comes with a geissele ssa-e trigger which is my favorite offering from geissele. No complaints.

RECEIVERS/CONTROLS- The receivers are machined beautifully. Like work of art beautiful. One complaint I have, and this is carried over with the gfr. They’re to tight. I like a tight upper/lower fit with minimal wobble. What I don’t like is having to use a plastic punch to pop the pins out to field strip. There is a spring loaded plunger in the lower that keeps fitment tight. Maybe a little less powerful spring would split the difference?

IMG_3475.jpeg

The left side ambi controls are great. I have zero complaints there. The right side is growing on me. The right side bolt release is pretty stiff but has seemed to wear in a little and I can now depress it with my index finger. I do on the other hand struggle to reach the dust cover which actuates the catch on the right side without breaking my grip substantially. With that said I have the hands of an 8 year old girl.


IMG_3471.jpeg
IMG_3474.jpeg

HANDGAURD- I love the handgaurd. Super solid and has a tab at the 12:00 that interlocks it to the receiver. Full arca rail with mlok slots on the bottom. Two steel qd cups that are positioned closer to the receiver and an included geissele mlok qd cups.

IMG_3480.jpeg


IMG_3486.jpeg

IMG_3487.jpeg

BCG- The bcg has nice machining and a slick finish. I’m a fan of the nano coating as it cleans up great and has a natural lubricity feeling to it. Bolt has dual ejectors and gas key has good staking. It appears the carrier has some sort of plug/weight? In the rear. Not sure what this is maybe someone will chime in with the answer on that.

IMG_3482.jpeg

CHARGING HANDLE- Comes with a nice Geissele charging handle. No complaints.


IMG_3476.jpeg

BUFFER/SPRING- The Mrgg uses geisseles super 42 braided spring and a h2 buffer.
IMG_3484.jpeg


IMG_3485.jpeg
IMG_3483.jpeg

Geissele advertises the barrel as “user changeable” (isn’t that every ar?) . Here’s the barrel nut pictured. The handguard screws are captured which is nice.


IMG_3478.jpeg
IMG_3477.jpeg

I struggled to get pics of this but the Mrgg has two sets of feed ramps. One in the normal spot that interfaces with the receiver and another set before the chamber. I assume this helps with bullets not getting deformed.

Now for the accuracy portion. All groups were shot from a bench. A bipod and rear bags were used for all shots. Upon getting the rifle I fully cleaned the bore and shot 10 rounds to zero and season the bore. A Schmidt 5-20 ultrashort was used in a badger comm mount. I want to also mention I tend to shoot much better with a suppresor. All these groups were shot with the hux brake.(haven’t decided if I want to order a hux flow or not)

Hornady 140 eld match

Group 2 the 5th shot was the flyer. Unfortunately it still counts but I will say that shot didn’t feel good. I still included what the group would have measured as a note in the target. 😥


IMG_3467.jpeg

Hornady 147 grn eld match
1.01 avg moa

Extreme spread-57.1

It definitely seemed to like the 140s better. I was also a little fatigued trying to make y’all proud and the rifle was hotter. I noted two groups that I didn’t wait as long to shoot on between 5 rounds. Being a gas gun I wanted to see how it did a little warm.

I REALLY think this rifle has potential. Keep in mind this a chf chrome lined barrel! Geissele has their barrel making down. So far I LOVE THIS GUN. Will definitely pick up a 16 inch and 14.5 when they drop. I plan on shooting more when I get a suppresor mounted up. Will get some more factory match ammo options and post up results. I experienced no malfunctions as one would expect. It has a really nice recoil impulse that seems “slower”. I’d encourage anyone who has one to post your findings and results! If anyone has questions for wants info on something specific just ask!

MRAD vs Custom Build

I’m looking at purchasing a Barrett MRAD in 300 Norma Mag and 6.5 Creedmoor versus building a custom rifle selecting quick change action like a Terminus Zeus, Bartlein barrel, MPA chassis and trigger of choice.

Barrett, AI and others with multi-caliber rifles allow shooting calibers from short action (6.5 Creedmoor) to long action calibers (300 Norma Mag and others). I’m not sure if quick change actions from Terminus and others offer the ability to shoot both short and long actions. If not, this is a benefit to the Barrett and AI variants.

Precision. Is there a precision advantage to the custom builds (excluding custom cut chambers) over multi-caliber rifles from Barrett, AI and others? While I have several custom bolt guns, several with custom non-SAAMI spec chambers for specific bullets and optimized freebores, these rifles require the action to be removed from the stock, locked in a gun vise with barrel wrenches to remove the barrel. Also, they don’t come with adjustable bolt faces to accommodate short vs long action cartridges that I’m aware of.

I do handload and plan to work up loads for the calibers I purchase.

My question is how much precision if any should I anticipate losing with a multi-caliber rifle like an MRAD over a custom bolt gun using premium components and barrels from Bartlein. Most reviews of the MRAD and AI I’ve seen were done with factory cartridges and performance was said to be sub-moa. I’m really hoping to consistently be under .5 MOA with handloads which I’m able to achieve with my custom builds in 6mm variants using Impact Actions, Bartlein barrels, Foundation stocks, Spuhr mounts and Nightforce ATACR optics as a general description. Some with custom chambers for the Berger 105 grain Hybrid Target on a good day are in the .25 MOA range.

Has anyone been able to achieve consistent sub .5 MOA with any load, factor or handload with multi-caliber rifles from MRAD or AI? I’m buying the MRAD because I don’t own one and I just want one and hoping they can deliver better precision that sub-MOA which to me means just under one-inch groups. The ruggedness of the MRAD is a cool feature I’m likely not to need since I’m not an operator in a war zone, but cool, nonetheless.

If you were to build a custom multi-caliber rifle, what action would you use and why?

Anyone ever buy a house under short sale?

Looking to see if anyone has any experience in this. Potentially new house for me and the family in desirable location. Kids would have a lot of school friends very close by (unlike our current home).

Current house is 4100 sq feet as is new one. Lateral move. Difference is I can pull about 550-600k in equity out of this to make it affordable.

My question is how low is too low of an offer? I know the lender has final say so. House appears to need exterior cosmetic love, minor cosmetic upgrades plus all bathrooms renovated in most recent pics we can find from 2020.

Owner borrowed 665 for the house (public record). Hard to fathom he’s into it for more than it’s worth on regular market.

Any insight is greatly appreciated

Anschutz 1727F AI AT-X

I finally broke down and picked up one of these. So far, it's shooting well and I'm not regretting it...I'm not retiring any of my other rimfires, but I am happy with the way it's performing.

I do need to add a few items to the chassis to help when shooting comps.

For anyone who has one, are you using a thumb shelf? If so, which one?

Also, I've debated picking up the AI Bridge, but I would love some firsthand experience from anyone using one.

The last item I am trying to decide on is a rear bag rider. Is there a preferred model, or should one be used that is made for any other AI?

Thanks in advance!

SOLD Kidd Supergrade in McMillian A5-22 Stock - $1,000

The rifle was purchased as a complete build from Kidd.

Original Kidd Supergrade where the barrel is threaded into the receiver. This is not a slip fit or the current style Supergrade....the barrel is threaded into the receiver.

20" heavy match bead blasted barrel. The barrel is not threaded. McMillian A5-22 stock, inlet with the Kidd tang, bedded to this action. Single stage trigger.

Very light use. Some light handling marks from the safe on the top of the barrel....I can't get them to show up in a picture. Otherwise, like new condition.

FFL to FFL unless you are local to SW MI with a CPL. Zelle or Venmo preferred.

Do you know of a REALLY low, cantilever mount? (30mm, 0-MOA)

Some time back I bought a Monstrum / Amazon mount to try, proof of concept kind of thing. Better to spend $30 to find out it doesn't work than $200.

When I got it I was actually surprised with the quality. Moderately okay? At least the machining anyway. The screws on the other hand are crap and sort of roughly the right size for the tapped holes. I'm using it in a non traditional way on a rifle with decent recoil, so I have no faith in it holding up. I need zero MOA because I'm actually using it backwards, to set the scope rearward.

So I'm wondering if there's anything out of of GOOD quality, that's equally as low. Anyone know of anything off hand?

Dad 72 getting shoulder replacement advice.

Found out today my dad who is 72 is going to have his shoulder replaced. I know he has had surgery on both already. He is bad about doing the PT after. Any advice for him or me? He has 6 grandkids hopefully being able to do stuff with them will be motivation to do the PT. I can always yell at him. @powdahound76 can come do some KS deer hunting and yell at him too.

A buddy was in Gulf war one and is now in law enforcement.

He says he always thinks about rubbing one out in a porta potty in Kuwait to a very used and abused magazine when he hears the phrase.

Firearms CZ Shadow 2 SRO CGW full competition kit - $2000

I put this together around the start of the pandemic lockdown a few years back, and I am ashamed to admit it's only had ~1000rds through it (as that's around the same time I got deep into bolt-guns). This deserves a better home and belongs with someone who'll really use it. This beast is a blast and runs like a watch.

CZ Shadow 2 OR 9x19

Full Cajun Gun Works race trigger (it has everything except for the shortened DA reach, which I didn't need/want). Its trigger is a thing of beauty with a smooth ~5lb DA stroke like a nice revolver and a 1911-like crisp ~2lb SA that's as nice or nicer than any other Shadow variant I've ever handled (and I've handled more than a few nice ones). Short-reset disconnector for super-short trigger-reset and very little take-up in SA (ala 1911).

Brass LOK grips factory cerakoted black.

13lb hammer spring and extended firing pin installed (with other hammer spring weights included), 11lb recoil spring installed (13lb factory also).

Has the "thick" CZ-97-style trigger installed (same as the old 85 Combat trigger without the overtravel screw that always moves and messes you up at the worst time).

Dawson partridge-style plain-black iron sight up front, useful without ever being distracting (new Dawson FO sight included also).

12 mags. Grams springs/followers in the extended mags for reliable 23+1 in the 6 factory nickel mags with Taran Tactical basepads. 6 factory/Mec-Gar mags with Patriot Defence basepads.

Trijicon SRO 5.0 MOA dot.

Shooters Connection competition inner/outer belt with Ben Stoeger BOSS drop and Comp-Tac holster, 5 CR Speed universal/configurable mag holders. The outer belt is size XL and the inner belt is a huge 50 that can be cut down easily (I know I have a smaller ~36 one too somewhere that I'll look for).

All stock parts (minus the standard/stock firing pin, which I misplaced somehow). All misc holster and mag holder hardware.

Spare OEM slide-stop and spare TRS included (it’s recommended to change these out at ~12k rounds, consider it your first change of tires on the house). CHPW plate installed, hard to track down OEM CZ-UB steel SRO/RMR plate included just in case.

IDK how much I have into this, but I know it's a hell of a lot more than I'm asking... so no haggling, thanks.

Be sure your FFL can receive from private party(s), as this has to ship to an FFL. Out-of-state buyers still have to have a private transfer done.

FTF is available in TN in the Nashville area (TN HCP preferred).

$2000 shipped CONUS, firm. Payment via Zelle. DM any questions. No trades (but if you have a Gibson Les Paul Custom in very good condition, we can talk lol). I’m not splitting this stuff up at this point, I want to sell the whole kit as-is thanks.

Reloading Equipment .22GT stuff; Bartlein Barrel, Dies, Brass

Bartlein 5R 3B .22GT Barrel, 7” twist, fitted to my Zermatt Origin action, so should fit any Origin. 19 3/8”, threaded 5/8x24. Has thread protector. I don’t keep track of the round count, but still shoots pretty good. $200 shipped.



Forster .22 GT dies. Two FL sizers, one honed by Forster to .249” neck, and the other factory specs. Forster Micrometer seater. $100 shipped.



Custom .22GT Lee Collet Die set. Used once. Works very well. $100 shipped.



RCBS Matchmaster 6GT die set. Works well for .22GT too. Has both .224 decapper/expander and 6mm decapper/expander. $75 shipped. SOLD.

200 rds Alpha Munitions .22GT brass. 165 of them sized and primed with CCI 450s, the other 35 fired. I don’t keep track of the number of firings, but did anneal prior to every sizing, and the brass is in good shape. $100 shipped. SOLD.
