Hi Everyone,
I have been perusing through the forum for quite awhile but just joined up recently and wanted to say hi.
You guys have a lot of great info here, my hats off to you all.
I have been a shooting for a few years and have been recently concentrating on more long range,semi auto, accurized rifles. I own a few rifles, last one a .308 Remi bolt, but the recoil on it is a bit too much for comfort (shoulder injury/surgery a few years ago, still nagging). Mainly a one shot hunting rifle that one is. I thought an AR10 platform might be better, but then shot a friends POF 308 and found nil improvement as far as recoil. I've always liked the AR15 platform for its modularity( who doesnt) and thought i'd research more powerfull and accurate cartidges for that platform. So I looked at 6.8spc, .25-45Sharps, .277 Wolverine, 7.62x40WT and 6.5 Grendel. From all looks of it, the Grendal apears to be of much lesser recoil than a 308, more accurate than most of the other calibers listed calibers, and ammo is fairly well priced too. Sold. Started a build three weeks ago starting with a Precision Firearms 18" Criterion barrel ( gonna be awhile before I see it it looks like). It will take another four weeks at least to complete it(myself).
Anyhow, when completed my first question might be scope selection for it, but i'll start another thread for that when the rifle is near completion.
Thanks again!
