A Savage Grendel - Von Gruff - 09-16-2014 This link was sent to me to post as a member has his account screwed up for now. An interesting little rifle Joe. http://www.savageshooters.com/showthread.php?35706-6-5-Grendel-Hunter A Savage Grendel - ricsmall - 09-17-2014 So gruff, this was built on a standard short action with just a bolt head change and new barrel. I'm asking cause this project is on my short list and I'm ready to acquire a rifle to build on. Don't really want to buy a new one in x39 just to scrap barrel. Looking to save $$ as well. Thanks Richard A Savage Grendel - Von Gruff - 09-19-2014 As far as I can see from the post he says an HH action but I am only posting link for Joe as he bought it to my attention and asked me to post it. I agree though that being able to cherry pic components without having to buy an entire rifle and then having to part it out would be the way to go. I was able to start from just an action and it worked out the most cost effective for me. A Savage Grendel - mickey - 09-26-2014 Mine Mauser MFG, sells actions only right and Left hand. More than likely a special order through US. Importer. They did not answer my e-mail asking for a Left hand action with full stock as Sty.Man. Regards Mickey A Savage Grendel - maverick5582 - 11-10-2014 "HH action. They are the best donors." What is an HH action? A Savage Grendel - LRRPF52 - 11-10-2014 That rifle is sweet. My kids' first center fire rifles will be 6.5 Grendel. I'll start the girls out with lighter 85gr or 95gr loads, and work our way up. Still trying to decide what action, but I really believe there is a market for a micro action 6.5 Grendel bolt gun. Loaded with the Nosler 129gr ABLR premium factory load, from a 20" little carbine, it exceeds the energy of a 150gr .308 hunting bullet before 350yds, with much less recoil, lighter action, faster cycling, etc. A Savage Grendel - maverick5582 - 11-10-2014 Is there any difference between the Savage 11 FCNS 7.62X39 action and the Savage Varmint SA? I am not familiar with the HH action. A Savage Grendel - am4966 - 11-10-2014 HH Precision I believe A Savage Grendel - aclark - 11-10-2014 Nice looking rifle. Is it just me or is the end of that barrel flared out a bit? What would be the reasoning? To get enough metal for the thread patten he wanted? Also, someone said something in that thread that made me think. What about a 6.5 Grendel Scout Rifle? Could be pretty cool for a nice compact lightweight package.
