I have only about four months experience with the Grendel, but here is my two cents worth:
1. It's fun, low recoil and pleasant to shoot.
2. Very versatile, can be used for defense, varmints, game hunting, target shooting and long-ish range. The long range in the AR-15 platform is one place it really shines.
3. It's a puzzle. I have been working on getting my Grendel and myself to shoot better and there are a lot of pieces to experiment on.
4. As a results of my choice of choosing the lowest priced Grendel (Bear Creek Arsenal) the challenge of getting it to shoot well has me taking it apart, doing things to it and as a consequence learning a lot about the AR-15 platform. Sort of like getting a beater car that you can work on and not worry about ruining it (much).
5. Now I go to the range just about every week instead of a few times a year.
6. If you reload, the cost for the Grendel isn't very much extra than other calibers.
