Nice looking build.

Fun little Grendel build... - VASCAR2 - 04-25-2020

Looks great let us know how it shoots!

Every time I see a Geissele rail I resolve that I want one...then I see the price. Congrats on a nice build. As Vascar says, please do a range report.

You and me both...I just couldn't hold out any longer :-)


Got a couple cases of Wolf to play with already, need to stack some ELD's to test side by side with then I'll make a nice little report one of these days.

Nice setup! How do you like the PA Prism site? I be been looking at getting the 1x or 2.5x.

They have a blemished sale twice a year, around 4th of July and Black Friday. You have to check early, because they sell out quick!

Nice build. Very similar to the one I'm working on. I have an extra pair of KAC irons, just not sure I'm going to mount them on this pistol build with such a short sight radius.
Have you shot yours with irons yet? If so, how did it work out?
Meanwhile, still waiting for my lower build kit from PSA. Their TWO SBA4 complete lowers came back in stock and sold out in a day. So did the SBA4 lower build kits.

Nice build and welcome to the Horde!

Fun little Grendel build... - okiecat - 05-22-2020

Good looking rig, Like the contrasting colors that blend also. Got any idea what it weights?

Fun little Grendel build... - hoevito - 05-22-2020

Evolved a little bit since, current configuration...I like it a bit more this way.

This is one of the older 4X's I had laying around. They're decent, very tough optics but glass clarity isn't the best, but they're perfectly usuable out to 3-400 yards in my experience. I really like the 1X Cyclops models, got one of those too on an AUG. Works great. Never tried the 2x or 2.5x models, but I will soon.

Thanks to my favorite range in my area taking their sweet ass time to reopen, I haven't shot it yet at all sadly.

Thanks.

Fully loaded with a 24 round Elander mag and exactly as pictured in the most recent pic above? 9lbs, 7.9oz, or basically 9 and a half pounds ready to rock.
