    Geissele MRGG-S adopted by USSOCOM in 6.5 CM.

    This is the exact bolt I am using in my 22ARC. I bought it as a complete BCG. Very impressed with the machining.

    Geissele MRGG-S adopted by USSOCOM in 6.5 CM.

    I agree with everything here. I have both a LMT MWS with a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel, and a LMT MRP with a 6.5 Grendel barrel. In terms of general handling the smaller lighter Grendel is a dream to carry and shoot. However the Creedmoor while heavier, and less suited for assaulter type roles...

    Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

    This is certainly interesting, especially if the chamber pressures claimed are true.

    Which rifle for DMR class

    I would bring both of your Grendel rifles with the 18" as a primary. You have fantastic optics on both. Review the course requirements and make sure you are bringing the proper accessories as well. As suggested above, putting a hundred rounds through each rifle before the class will help...

    Enhanced, Monolithic, Semi Monolithic AR-15 Uppers

    I bought my first LMT CQB MRP in 2006 and have not looked back. I own several LMT MRP's and MWS now. They are rock solid, accurate, military used and proven. I do use the quick change barrel feature and it works as advertised.

    SR 25 Scope Recommendations

    For a precision cartridge like the 6.5 Creed at ranges mostly beyond 300 yards you will be happier with magnification that reaches 15x to 20x max power. I really like the Leupold 3.8 x18. It is light for its class and very compact. Your mounting options will be limited due the 35mm tube. The...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Good find on the Hornady Black! It is hard to reload at that price. I might just pick up a few boxes. This ammo shoots around 1.25" in most of my Grendel rifles. Went back and looked at my chrono data from last summer, in my 11.5" LaRue SURG Hornady Black 123 gr. averaged right at 2200 fps...

    Would you get into 6.5 Grendel in 2024?

    Yes I would get into Grendel in 2025. I feel it has a far superior line up of available loaded ammo and bullets as compared to either the 6 ARC or 22 ARC. For hunting and shooting from short barrels it will out perform the 6 ARC and 22 ARC. The 6.8 SPC would compare favorably for hunting...

    LMT Barrel conversion review and accuracy report, before conversion vs. after D Wilson conversion

    D. Wilson did a conversion for a 12.5" Noveske Leonidas 6.5 Grendel barrel. It shoots all my handloads easily under an inch. He does excellent work with good turnaround time.

    My new 6.5 Grendel

    Do you really need a muzzle brake for that small of a round?

    Pof sucks period

    I agree with Low here. We need to be supporting gun companies. POF has been upfront, and is repairing any issues with their rifles.

    Looking for Geissle SSA-E trigger

    Re: Looking for Geissle SSA-E trigger It is getting ridiculous when $2-300 dollar triggers are sold out. These manufactures have completely underestimated how large the market is.
