After tons of research I have settled on the 6.5 Grendel as the ideal whitetail rife for my family to hunt with. I want to get one setup for smaller shooters and for shooting and hunting suppressed at all times (hence the light weight requirement). I'm not a huge guy but 13-13.5" LOP for me is about right but my wife and son will need 12-12.5" or maybe less. I'm trying to keep the gun + stock under $600 and will plan to use a fixed 6X scope so my total cost should be ~$1100.
What are my options for off the shelf guns that fix my descriptions? With hunting being the primary goal for this gun should I get a sporter barrel and save some weight on the front since there will be a can up there or is a 20" heavy barrel going to be more stable with can?
Seems a bit difficult to find existing rifles in stock that fit my description so if I need to assemble one, can I get it done within my budget?
THX!
