6.5 Grendel build inspired by the military SPR Mk12

[spr mk12 mod 0]

Optics are indeed an arduous decision. I've got a couple to share but I'm still not sold on either one for this particular rifle.

But first here's the finished rifle. I couldn't go outside and try to find a cool looking background. The wildfire smoke here in Western Oregon is horrible right now.

Here she is sitting on my workbench:





Without the bipod the rifle weighs 7 lbs. 4 oz. If I switch to an ACE or Hogue rifle buttstock I could knock that down to a hair over 7 lbs. With a steel barrel of similar profile it would weigh closer to 8 lbs. 5 oz.
