I have 2 BLRs. One in .308 and one in .243. My Dad originally purchased them and I used the .308 for deer hunting for years. After I built my Grendel, the BLRs never came out of the safe. The BLRs I have are not the take down model, but there is nothing that a BLR chambered in 6.5 Grendel would do better than an AR15 chambered in that caliber unless you are restricted from using the AR15 platform. The Grendel is a great cartridge BECAUSE it fits in the AR15. The BLR will take larger cases. I believe you can even get a WSM in a BLR now. The BLR lacks the modular design of the AR15 and unless you just have to have something different, your money would be much better spent on a quality AR15 or if you need a lever gun, you could stick with one of the fine calibers that the BLR comes in and not have to deal with the feeding problems that you might create.
YMMV
Take care,
