So I have recently caught the bug to build a bolt action Grendel based on how much I have enjoyed shooting my semi auto. In reality I actually cannot justify the project at all as it does not cover a need that I dont already have covered or provide an advantage over any of my other rifles. I just plain think it would be cool to have.
I have used the search feature to find out what I need to convert my short action savage over to the grendel. I have a hog hunter model that I have swapped a few barrels on and off of. It was originally a .308. I am going to pick up the necessary bolt face from gunshack along with their 26" ER Shaw Pre Fit barrel that has a varmint profile. I already have a Bell and Carlson stock with an Accurate Mag bottom metal kit that runs AI mags. I have tested cycling a few Grendel rounds through the mag and it seems to work fine. Can anyone see any problems with this? The mags are .308 mags.
Also, does anyone have any experience with this ER Shaw barrel? I am going with it specifically because of the low price and the fact that its in stock. I would really prefer something fluted and with a threaded muzzle but cant find one that would ship out immediately.
If anyone sees any potential problems please let me know. And if anyone has had one of these barrels please share your experience.
Thanks.
