Unfortunately, no one makes a 24" 6.5Grrr rifle. If someone wanted that length they'd have to get one barrelled by a custom maker.
Would you consider any other calibers?
No, the Grendel does it all for my needs.
<http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-527-american/> is a link to the CZ site. Their 527 American in 6.5 Grendel does come with a 24" barrel. See my post on how the CZ owners like their CZs. I am just beginning to shoot my 527 Varmint. So far it is a keeper. The wood is very nice, the bolt smooth, the barrel is free floated, and best of all first indications is that it will be a tack driver (too bad I am old and shaky).
