The time has come for 6.5 :-) - Spikes08 - 11-27-2011
I found my way to your secluded world here in the back corners of the interwebs via arfcom.
I have been struggling for the longest about getting a .308 (semi), but could never justify the weight, cost, non standard AR15 parts.
After much studying the 6.5 seems to be the ticket for all things hunting and target shooting.
I need a barrel and bolt. What sayth thou on the best place, price, and time frame to acquire such?

Templar Custom has grendel barrel/bolt combos. Their cut rifled pipes will run you about 575 and are extremely accurate.

+1 for Templar, as well as Alexander Arms. If you get a cut-rifled barrel from either, it will be a shooter. If you don't need cut-rifled, just get a $260-$350 button-rifled barrel/bolt combo from AA.

I am looking at getting an 18inch barrel fluted or dimpled and bolt properly head spaced. What kind of wait time do these barrels have from the two suppliers mentioned?

Last time i checked Templar has them on had ready to ship. call bob and find out. AA might take a bit longer. what is your budget?

Budget is always relative. I like quality. What am I looking at?

for a bartlein cut rifled barrel/bolt combo it'll run ya 575 from Templar. Thats what i paid. High quality stuff. Many forum members can verify that claim. The best ive gotten with a 20" so far has been a 1/4 3 shot group in which 2 bullets went in the same hole using factory hornady. The worst has been a 5 shot group that is just under an inch at 100 yards. The barrel can shoot better than i can but im catching up.

Howdy and welcome.
I don't know if any Satern 6.5g pipes are still floating around but their quality is top notch. Cut, hand lapped rifling.
