from alabama. i was briefly a member a couple of years ago when i briefly owned a 6.5 grendel upper. couldn't get it to shoot well; it just didn't want to fit my spike's lower just right).
anyhow, i'm back, and am considering three options for $500-$600 investment for hunting: (a) AR upper (b) howa mini-action sporter © cz 527 american.
options are not in order. i will say, light weight (sub-7 pounds all up) is a key goal.
thanks for having me ...

paul, any reason you don't like the Grendel in the Ruger American flavor? (Accurate, light weight, priced under your budget, uses AR grendel mags)

i don't mind the RAR at all; it's just not as slick as the cz and howa, with their tiny actions ...

Welcome. At $600 your very close to a larue kit which is great bang for buck.

Welcome to the clan, pf, from the great nation of Texas! In the selections that you listed, there isn't a bad choice. A better choice might be a combination of a Grendel upper and one of the bolt guns. I have a Howa Grrrr and it does real well. However, I have an RAR in 6mm CM that does sub-caliber sized bug holes! Don't sell Ruger short!
