For the cash I have tied up in my 6.5 Grendel AR I could have purchased 3 or 4 Model 70's or 700's. On top of that the 6.5 Grendel cartridge is rather anemic compared to what most guys are carrying in the woods deer hunting but the key is it's potent enough for the vast majority of shots I'll ever take on deer sized game.
My gun safe holds an assortment of bolt action center fire rifles suitable for hunting anything in North America. The 6.5G is a very accurate cartridge and is very "shoot-able" due to its low recoil that it’s hard to not grab it when hitting the woods.
When I take the time to think about it it’s hard to justify the 6.5Grendel being the best tool for the job. For me it comes down to its just flat out a neat cartridge and loads of fun to shoot. When logic fails I fall back on suffering an acute case of BRD
