I'm just having an early morning episode and have an extra Bartlein barrel sitting here, lol.
I'm thinking about starting on a somewhat custom rig for my son. He's only four, but figuring I can get a little use out of it before him and he loves to shoot as is.
So the real question. I've always liked the Grendel and always thought it would be "neat" to have one in a 700, but then there's the 6.5x47? It's bigger, not as "neat", in that it can do some business, but shouldn't produce much more recoil, right? I've about to decide on 16.1" or so.
I have a Bartlein 1:8.5 twist and both will probably be shooting sub 120g bullets.
Anyone have a Grendel in a 700? What's your thoughts? Don't waste money on the Grendel, just get an AR barrel, and do a short x47? I have everything I need to put together a Grendel except the barrel I think...
