"Megatron" (a 6.5 Grendel build)

Thanks. I have a steel target at 600, furthest that I've stretched it. With a 15x scope and little-to-no wind, it will usually keep 3 shots in ~2" to ~5" if it's fed the right ammo.

As for the rings, it just didn't seem right to put a cantilever mount on a monolithic upper. It would have been a solution to a nonexistent problem. Those ADM rings are designed for an Aimpoint (using one ring). But they're the appropriate size (30mm) and appropriate height (1.52"), return to zero extremely well, cost about the same as quality 1-piece mounts, and I'm using ADM for other accessories (Aimpoint T1, Atlas bipod, and Accu-Shot rear monopod).

Usually I hate the look of those skeletonized triggers, but on your rifle it actually looks right and really nice. Call it a "vibe" or whatever (LOL), but I've got a feeling you are going to love the groups coming out of that rifle...Big Grin

Thanks. The trigger design is appealing to me because it's further forward than most (or all). I like the appearance of the black version better, which I have on another lower that will be part of an all-black build. Thus, the chrome one had to go on the Grendel since it already had a little bling. The trigger stands out less in person. (The difference in the finish of the upper and lower is less noticeable too.)
