Ruger American in 6.5 Grendel

[grayfox]

Cool. But not Super Cool.

Pro Tip for Manufacturers: Make your 6.5 Grendel bolt actions with a micro-bolt receiver that can handle a Cartridge Overall Length (COL) of 2.400 but not more!

True, however from a mfg standpoint if they have the short action (or maybe a 223-length) already worked up then it's faster to market by changing the barrel... if they have the 223/300BO (which they seem to) then re-barrel, tweak the bolt head and voila! Head space is already possible b/c of the Remage barrel nut, right? Grendel out the door! Maybe it's a nominal 2.300" capable action? we shall see.
