That 16 Lilja Wasp build has a .650 diameter barrel under the handguard, steps up to .750, then .740 to the muzzle.
Weight without optics for the 16 Lilja is 6lbs 5oz, which is exceptional for a little hunter.
There arent any barrel profiles available for 6.5 Grendel like that from anyone that are regularly-produced.
I got that one through the original Lilja group buy, and its surprisingly-accurate for how light it is.
The AA fluted Grendel barrels are very light and handy though.
About 6-7 years ago, I built a lot of AA 16 fluted Grendels for people and every one of them handled like a pussycat in terms of recoil, muzzle climb, and cycling of the action. Most would shoot .75-1" 3rd groups with 120gr PPU and 123gr Hornady, which is more than ideal for hunting and most intermediate range recreational target work.
