Larue or hunter?

[Hank.Blanton]

I ordered a larue tactical 6.5 Grendel ultimate upper about 13 weeks ago and was just informed they will take 4-6 months in the backup they are in at the moment, I am debating canceling the order and looking in the Grendel hunter for hunting purposes, doesn’t anyone have and experience with Grendel hunter rifles?

I ordered my LaRue upper in mid-January, and didn't receive it until late May. In the meantime I got antsy and ordered another upper from Aero Precision, which arrived a week after ordering it. The LaRue is mounted on my Daniel Defense lower, and the Aero precision is mounted on my Colt LE6920 lower. I didn't cancel my LaRue order because I wanted a second 6.5 Grendel for my son to use.

Both shoot exceptionally well. Aero uses stainless steel barrels, so barrel break in is recommended. LaRue nitrides their barrels so a barrel break in is redundant. Both companies make their own barrels, (Aero Precision owns barrel manufacturer Ballistic Advantage).

If your talking about the Grendel Hunter uppers sold by a dealer in Wisconsin there are several satisfied customers on the forum. Last I read was Grendel Hunter was using Saturn/Liberty Grendel II barrels. Alexander Arms also sell a hunter version of their 6.5 Grendel. The Hunter upper sold by AA has also had positive reviews on this forum.

Here is a link to the forum custom search feature. It will be easy to find post regarding either upper.

I cannot speak the barrels grendel hunter uses, as I put a group buy barrel on my build, but every thing they sell appears to be from reputable sources. I got a hand guard and assembled upper receiver from them and couldn't be happier. Price seemed fair to me and was on my doorstep the same week. What I have got from larue has been excellent quality at a reasonable price but you do have to play the waiting game with them.
