Could be Bushnell closeouts.

Do not buy those bolts. They are not made to correct specs. I bought on and the bolt wouldn't fit a grendel case.
They replaced it and the second bolts extractor wasn't even a grendel extractor it was a 223/556 extractor.
They then gave me a 3 week run around till I had my bank challenge the charge on my card and sent it to the BBB.
Total crap company and crap products don't do business with them.

Thanks A5BLASTER. I purchased a charging handle from them 6-8 years ago. It wasn't to spec and short. So short it didn't let the bolt go fully into battery. They did refund me though.

Yikes! Thanks for the heads-up. For whatever reason it wouldn't take my credit card info. I tried 2 times with 2 cards, and it kept kicking me out, so I eventually just gave up. Kinda glad I did now!
They are selling Grendel extractors for dirt cheap as well, but you're experience isn't exactly an endorsement on how that's going to work out!

Yes but it is free shipping with Targetsports which makes it a little cheaper, That is a great price on the Black, The only way I can beat that is through membership at Targetsports and not by much, It is good to see more ammo options and better pricing coming available.

The Nosler outlet store in Bend, Oregon (its separate but next to SPS) has 6.5mm 90gr Varmageddon belms for $11.20/100. They looked good to me but I'd never tried this bullet. I grabbed a couple bags and there were 5 or 6 left.
After reading about this bullet here I wish I'd grabbed them all! Anyway, if you're close to Bend you might want to swing by. Last I looked SPS had the same bullet for $19.95.
