I haven't shot for accuracy yet (I'm not that good), just testing for function, so far. I need to work on my skills a bunch, at this stage of the game, I can't do the rifle justice. I dialed the scope in (with help from my son in law), I shot some MOA groups, I will give the son in law a shot at it, he has good skills and youth on his side. All in all it looks very promising. I'll post up pics after the next outing.

Cool man, glad you jumped into 6.5G, such an awesome and easy to shoot caliber!

I had a blast putting it together, I'm looking forward to spending some time behind the trigger (honing skills and having fun). It will probably be my coyote dispatcher (although it is a little heavy to tote around, 11lbs without tripod).

The key mod was the only option for the O2 lite at the time I purchased it. I didn't care because I had no intention of hanging a bunch of stuff on it.
There are many like it, but, this one is mine.

Yes, I attached the quick connect plate directly, it stays with the rifle.

Well guess I am different
I like the yhm tj competition series. I like smooth tubes too. Don't need to attach a bunch of accessories and like a smooth feel to the handguard

Very nice.
I will be building my first Grendel this coming year.
Trying to decide on barrel now.... 16 or 18 inch and which one.

Mdewitt71, there's not much speed gain going from 16" to 18" for the Grendel.

yep, that is what I am seeing on this forum.... might just go with a 16" and have a lighter setup.
Thanks !!
