Hunting AR

[imaguy3]

Wicat3, I have a 16” Faxon Group Buy 6.5 Grendel I bought here on the forum. This makes a great barrel for hunting out to 300 yards. The Hornady 123 grain SST will expand down to 1800 FPS. A 16” 6.5 Grendel should keep the 123 grain SST 6.5 MM bullet over 1800 FPS past 300 yards.

You won’t find a better price than the Group Buy Faxon 16” 1:8 twist Nitride QPQ barrel and Group buy bolt. I have bought several Larue MBT triggers and they are a great 2 stage trigger for $99.

There are very few Group Buy 16” Faxon barrels left (5 or less). Being a forum memeber has it’s perks and the group buy bolts and barrels are very good. I have a 16” & 18” Faxon 6.5 Grendel builds using the Group Buy barrel and bolt.

If your interested in the group buy just follow the info in the threads.

With regards to the SST out to and past 300... I know it doesn't mean much but I shot my 16" out to 400 the other day with SST, my strelok tells me I'm about 1750fps at 400. This is a picture of the group. Then I shot into an old 8lb powder jug I had full of water, backed by a sandbag. The bullet demolished the jug, penetrated to the back of the sandbag, and retained 94.6g of weight... I wouldn't hesitate poking a deer at 400 with this...
