I'm going to respectfully make some points about the 6.5 Grendel and the Howa rifles. (First point) The 6.5 Grendel was made to wring every last drop of performance out of the AR family of rifles. (2) There is no evidence that the maximum performance obtainable from the 6.5 Grendel is obtained using the AR family; indeed, up to this point, the only factory rifles for the 6.5 Grendel has been the AR. (3) Howa rifles shooting the 6.5 Grendel will either perform worse,the same or better than the AR.
I conclude that if Howa does it right, this combination of micro action +6.5 Grendel could be as successful as the .308 after leaving the M14! This rifle if done right, could weigh less then the 30 30 point like the the 30 30 have less recoil and still take deer/hogs at 5 times the range of the 30 30. Oh and it could double as a heckofa varmint gun.
