Hello all and thanks for having me! I currently have the parts on my workbench for my first 6.5 Grendel build minus the optic, which I'm still trying to decide on. Thinking about a 4-16 Vortex Diamondback Tactical or Primary Arms Slx 4-14. Look forward to learning from you all.
Build list:
Aero upper
New Frontier billet lower
Odin Works 20" barrel and matching BCG
Strike Industries LPK
BCM charging handle and grip
Luth-AR PRS
CMC 2.5lb match trigger
Grendel Hunter handguard and muzzle device

Welcome to the horde from Wisconsin .

Welcome aboard! All I can say is verify that your upper has a squared receiver face before installing the barrel.
Make sure cartridges can seat in the chamber without jamming the lands.
Do an accuracy build list on it with bedding the barrel. There are plenty of threads on that if you search. Custom Search Engine is in Announcements.
I dont recommend any of the cheap entry-level scopes for a gas gun. They tend to break, experience turret lag and lash with recoil, gears sticking, reticles cranking sideways, etc.
What will you be intending the rifle for? That will help with optics selection.

Thanks for the responses folks! Glad to be here.

Thanks for the kind welcomes! Update: I've been doing some research and have ordered an optic. Hopefully I don't get roasted for it, but I've seen a lot of great things about it. It's an Arken 4-16x50.
