New hunting grendel has temporary glass - alicea8541 - 03-25-2016
My recently built Grendel now has a scope for testing. I started with an AR type, tactical scope and will move on up the lines that Athlon offers. Like my other Grendel, this one is a shooter. Even though I am maxed out at 4x on the scope all shots were touching or very nearly touching. Was shooting on a turkey target that I patterned my shotgun on a couple of weeks ago. Bullet after bullet was in the brain housing group. Although the turkeys are safe, I don't think the coyote and deer are going to appreciate this rifle one bit.
Build recap:
-Spikes Tactical matched receivers in FDE
-Alexander Arms 16" Lite barrel and bolt
-Spikes BCG
-CMC 3.5lb single stage trigger
-YHM smooth free float hand guard Cerakote to match receivers
-YHM DI parts
-Bravo Company large latch CH
-B5 Bravo stock
-Magpul MOE+ grip
-LBE buffer assembly with Spikes Tactical T2 buffer
-Spikes ejection port cover
-Athlon Optics Argos BTR 1-4x24 FFP mil/mil with illuminated reticle
-Warne Gen 2 Extended Skeletonized MSR mount
Safety Nazis, weapon is unloaded and hammer is down, just like we store them in the military. Magazine was just for photo purposes.

Nice, sounds like the critters may need to be worried.

Hey dude, you got something under your couch.
Good looking gun.
The exfarmer in me appreciates the plowed field too.

Nice stick.
When I was waiting for my A2 flash hider when I built my 16", I shot it off one of my range bags, and it peeled the outer pocket wide open from the muzzle blast.
Just be careful with muzzle placement if you want your bag to stay assembled. How do you like the optic so far?

Been shooting off this bag since 2009. Muzzle is forward of the bag when firing. Only problem I've had is when I let friends squeeze off rounds. One of my other bags has a Purple Heart because a friend shot it.
For being just a combat type optic 1-4x I like it so far. Wanna run into a coyote with it to see what I really think about it though. I am very happy with the clarity and the illuminated reticle so far. Having a built in Switch View is nice too.
