I just built my first 6.5 Grendel AR-15 and I find myself repeatedly coming back here to browse so I might as well sign up. About to take my rifle to the range and see if I can figure out my new scope and get it ready to hunt this weekend.

Welcome to the forum v4lu3s, resistance is futile! Careful the 6.5 Grendel can be very addictive.

Welcome to the clan, v3s, from another native Texian. What part of this great state are you in? Tell us about your build and your goals. Maybe throw in a pix or two. And, by all means a pix of whatever you poke a hole in.

What part of this great state are you in? I'm just north of Dallas, central Collin County and there are a lot of us around here.

I'm in Conroe, and work in Houston.
I have been building AR platform rifles since Obama, but recently took the Sons of Liberty Armorers course.
So I built a new AR...I already had 9mm, .223/5.56, 7.62x39 and .308...
SOLGW upper
SOLGW lower
SOLGW competition trigger
BCM mk2 extension/buffer system
BCM MOD 2 stock
Larue Apeg grip
Odin Works 20" DMR barrel
Odin Works rune handguard
Odin Works bolt carrier group
Odin Works adjustable gas block
I put a Yankee Hill quick detach suppressor Mount since I shoot everything suppressed
Burris Veracity PH 4-20x50
Midwest 20 moa mount

So far I have put about 40 rounds down range. The goal on this gun is something that I can do on my general purpose hunting with as I hunt hogs and white tail but I also wanted something that I could take elsewhere in the country besides East Texas and still the effect about the several hundred yards without lugging a much heavier 308
