Re: My new build
Ok, I've decided to go with a 6.5 Grendel for the caliber on this build. I'd like to post what I'm intending it for, and what I have planned for the parts, but I figured I wouldn't start a whole new thread for that, so bear with me.
This build is intended to be an intermediate-long range(400-800 yds in my case) target gun, and pull double duty as a hunting rig (deer and pigs, maximum engagement about 250 yards). I've done some research and I feel that the Grendel is more than up to this task, and certainly better suited for hunting than the 5.56.
As stated above, it's a RRA lower. I also have an A2 stock, Magpul MOE grip, and I've ordered a Spike's upper, CMMG lower parts kit, and a Giessele SSA trigger. I'm still working on picking a barrel, but I'm currently leaning towards a BlackHole Weaponry standard contour in either 18" or 20". I'm planning on a Troy Alpha rail in the 15" length, low profile gas block (I've read that I may need an adjustable one, but I'm not sure on that yet), and for the moment a SWFA 10x SS for the glass.
So, any suggestions or recommendations in reference to what I've picked? Thanks!
