I was going to try a home build. I usual do not go cheap. Anyone that spends $2000 + on pcp guns and throws $500 on glass is not a cheap buyer.
I've been a powder burners fan for ever and been in the air guns for many years. I have a shop with much tooling and a lathe and more.
My background is a machinist and later a CWI welding inspector for heavy industrail contracting. Inspector on welding and many other aspects of construction. Dealt with many metal properties and welding procedures of exotic metals.
I am going to just get my feet wet in the Grendel. I'm not a super long range shooter. Being old my shooting is still good but not steady as I once was plus I have to use glass on all guns.
Right now I'm looking at this set up.
https://sandersarmoryusa.com/product...mbly-with-bcg/ for starters.
All comments are welcome. Glass will be the HiLux pentalux.
I have other uppers I've looked at. This will be my budget bulild for now.
I have an Anderson lower and an DPMS to use for now. Upgraded trigger is a must for me. I shoot lite triggers but safe ones. I'm sitting on 3 223 guns. 1 bolt 24" bolt varmint gun and 2 AR15'S and more big bore PBS. My deer rifle is the 30-06. Old semi auto but a deer killing machine. Had several 22-250 varmint guns in many brands. Plus other 223 rifles in my past. I'm working on a budget build as many go this round.
I hate to ask this question here but I'm green on the Grendel.
I know the teir levels of most of the barrels out there. You get what you pay for. I know cheaper is not the way to go. It always cost more going this route due to the sad results. Money wasted when one could have gone balls out and still saved money plus got what you needed at twice the price after trashing your investment cutting corners.
Any thoughts are welcome.
Thanks, 💀
