Drew from Texas

Hey everyone I'm from north Texas and just bought my first 6.5 grendel. I got the 18"from PSA. Looking forward to learning what I can from everyone, especially when i start to reload.

Welcome to the horde sir.

Welcome to the clan, A2K, from another loyal Texian! What do you call north Texas? I'm in central Collin county and am surrounded by a vast group of other Grendelizers! Tell us about your goals and your toys. A pix along the way is helpful.

Im in Justin so not far from you at all.
I sold my ar and ar10 few years ago and have just gotten back to where I can get more. I decided getting back into the game I wanted to standardize on one caliber and one magazine pattern for my ARs for the sake of simplicity. Looking around, Grendel seems to offer the best balance of what I find important. I haven't shot rifles much at all in 5 years or so, so I'm trying to get back in practice.

It's hard to stay simplistic. I went thru that a few years ago, picked a couple of rifle chamberings and a couple of pistol chamberings and got rid of most everything else. Worked real well for about 4 months. Then I stumbled onto a "too good to pass up" deal and there went the logistics. Oh, well! Seemed like a good idea at the time. MSR's are too much like hot rods from my old days. First you just want a bigger carburator ( for those of you who don't know what a carb is, PM me and I'll explain ) then it was dual exhausts and then it was a hot cam and .... It's just too easy and too addictive. And you don't get greasy while working on 'em!
And you're just down the street from Fossil Point!

I was actually out there yesterday at 100. Im out of practice with rifles so I'm not ready to head out to the big boy range yet. Gotta get a few other things to make life easier like a decent spotting scope
