Thanks for letting me join the crew, recently! I have a question. Since I have time to make some changes before I assemble my 6.5 Grendel. The Grendel is new to me, as is the AR over all. I have two builds (5.56 and 300 BO) under my belt and Im branching out. This will likely be a hunting rifle, but I may try to stretch its legs a little and learn/do some long distance shooting.
My build list thus far:
Upper - BCM4
Lower - SOLGW Angry patriot
Trigger - Larue MBT1S (bought before I thought about any long range shooting)
LPK - BCM
BCG - RCA (non-titanium)
Barrel - 20 Grendel Hunter Satern
Handguard - 15 Stngr Rptr
Buffer - BCM A5
Charging handle - BCM 3x3
Stock - VLTOR EMOD
Optic - TBD but I love Vortex and Ive been interested in trying PA (is there an ACSS reticle that works with 6.5G?)
I may add a bipod but that is kind of superfluous right now.
My question is kind of ambiguous, but does anyone see anything there that is suboptimal for the 6.5? Anything glaring that needs changed? Any quality of life changes I should make before it all comes together? Also, this is my first traditional lower (goodness, I love that threaded bolt catch screw in the Aero M4E1 enhanced uppers) and I marred my upper around the bolt catch a fair bit. So this gun is going to get rattle canned. (Another first for me!)
I appreciate all of your time and insight and look forward to learning for you guys and eyeballin' all the sweet setups out there.
